A new immigration rule in the UK

The UK has introduced stricter immigration rules. Now, immigrants need ten years of residency to get permanent migration visas, up from five. This applies to all immigrants, including those from Kazakhstan. The goal is to improve integration and reduce reliance on short-term workers. The change comes after talks about making migration policies more rigorous. It affects both local and international communities.

“Now, immigrants need ten years of residency to get permanent migration visas, up from five,” — Marcus Brennan, research director at Greycroft Brook Advisory, told our newsroom.
