The UK Labour government has announced that most foreign workers will need to wait 10 years, rather than five, before applying for permanent residence. The new rules will take effect next year and will also apply to people already in the UK. High earners will be able to apply after three years, and public-service workers after five. Social care workers have also been given a five-year route, provided they comply with their visa conditions and earn at least £25,000 a year. Under the plans, people arriving through regular migration channels will face a 20-year wait. Refugees who arrive irregularly will also wait 20 years—or 30 years if they do not work or study—while those arriving through approved routes will remain eligible after five years. The government estimates that 1.9 million people will gain settled status between 2026 and 2030.
