Immigration

Immigration in the UK is being tightened at present. It is being moved from a system with many different avenues to a points based system similar to what Australia and New Zealand have.

If you want to move to the UK with a family member who is already in the UK then you need a settlement visa. More information can be found at this government website.

The UK is introducing an identity card for new immigrants starting with people who are married to a UK citizen.

You must also pass a life in the UK test to live permanently in the UK, which doubles as an english language test. More information can be found here
