From April 2024, a number of changes to immigration requirements will come into force. These include changes to earnings thresholds for those applying for new skilled worker and family visas, as well as updates to SOC (Standard Occupational Classification) codes and rules on supplemental work.

UCU’s immigration lawyers, Bindmans, have prepared a summary of these changes for members which can be found here.

The UCU migrant members’ standing committee also has some information listed on the UCU website here.

Locally, our Migrant Members Subcommittee have been negotiations with the University on reimbursement for visa fees. You can read an update on their local work here.
