The UK’s proposed immigration reforms are not yet in effect, but they are expected to make the Skilled Worker route stricter by raising salary thresholds and reducing the number of eligible occupations under the sponsorship licence. While the timeline is unclear, it’s advisable to prepare and apply as soon as possible to avoid being affected by these changes.

Is the UK changing its immigration policy and how will it affect my Skilled Worker application?
I am a software engineer in Bangalore and I have been planning to apply for a UK Skilled Worker visa for a while. However, I worry about the repercussions and outcomes of the Home Office's white paper about “Restoring Control over the Immigration System." As I understand it, it is just a statement of reform but could it become immigration regulation soon? How culd these reforms raise salary thresholds or restrict the list of eligible occupations? How could it affect my application down the line?
