flag The UK is creating a temporary visa program for 82 mid-skilled jobs to ease labor shortages, with visas lasting 3–5 years and no permanent settlement path.

flag The UK has shortlisted 82 mid-skilled jobs, such as bricklayers, welders, photographers, and HR staff, for a new temporary work visa scheme to address labor shortages in key sectors like infrastructure and industry. flag The program, part of a broader immigration review, would allow foreign workers to enter on time-limited visas valid for three to five years, with no path to permanent settlement unless policy changes. flag Applicants must meet English language requirements, and employers must show efforts to train domestic workers. flag The final list will be determined by the Migration Advisory Committee by July 2026, following a review of each role’s importance to national economic priorities. flag The initiative aims to reduce reliance on overseas recruitment while supporting economic growth amid record net migration of 906,000 in the year to June 2023.
