UK Immigration Reforms: Changes to Care Worker Settlement Rules
What happened
Shabana Mahmood is implementing major overhauls to the UK's legal migration and earned settlement system, according to. While she scaled back some hardline plans, she offered a carve-out for care workers, allowing them to apply for indefinite leave to remain after five years. However, rules for those arriving irregularly, such as via small boats, still require a wait of up to 30 years before settlement, and Nigel Farage criticized the changes as "the beginning of the capitulation".
