    Deportation Fears As UK Government Publishes Immigration Rules

    The UK Government has published a comprehensive White Paper titled Restoring Control Over the Immigration System (May 2025), outlining reforms that will significantly reshape the country’s immigration rules.

    Summary of Proposed Immigration Changes in the UK Government’s May 2025 White Paper

    Proposed Extension of ILR Residency Requirement to 10 Years

    The government proposes to reform settlement rules by increasing the standard qualifying period for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) from five to ten years.

    Under the plan, settlement would no longer be automatic after five years. Instead, a revised Points-Based System would allow those making “Points-Based contributions to the UK economy and society” to qualify earlier.

    Higher English Language Requirements Across Visa Categories

    A number of proposals aim to raise the minimum English language requirements. The government plans to increase the English level required for Skilled Worker visas and settlement applications from B1 to B2.

    New English Requirement for Adult Dependants

    The White Paper proposes introducing a new English requirement for all adult dependants of workers and students, setting the minimum level at A1 (Basic User).

    Closure of Overseas Care Worker Visa Route

    The government proposes to close the care worker visa route for new overseas applicants. Existing workers already in the UK will be permitted to extend or switch in-country until 2028.

    Stricter Rules for Student Sponsorship and Compliance

    Education institutions sponsoring international students will be subject to higher compliance standards. Proposed changes include raising the minimum pass rate thresholds for Basic Compliance Assessments (BCA) and enforcing higher expectations on enrolment and course completion.
