Summary
The UK’s immigration system is undergoing major reforms in 2026, shifting toward lower migration and higher skill requirements. English language standards have been raised to B2 and electronic travel authorization is now mandatory, increasing entry barriers. A new “earned settlement” model extends the path to permanent residency for most workers to 10–15 years, while shortening it for high earners, widening inequality. Employers also face stricter compliance rules, including responsibility for contractors’ work eligibility and higher penalties. Overall, recruitment costs are rising, requiring more strategic workforce planning.
