Among other things, the new prime minister plans to expand the list of difficult professions subject to a simplified procedure for obtaining work visas. This, as noted by The Guardian, will allow British employers to attract more employees from other countries with less bureaucracy. The list, in particular, may include specialists in the deployment of broadband Internet networks. The authorities may also relax the requirements for knowledge of the English language required to obtain a visa, writes the Financial Times newspaper.

In addition, Truss would remove restrictions on the hiring of foreign workers involved in seasonal work in the agricultural sector. The upper limit of 40,000 visas is expected to be removed, as well as the maximum stay of six months.

The measures are designed to stimulate the economy

“We need to act to get the skills needed, including in agriculture, to stimulate economic growth. This will require an increase in the number of workers in some areas and a decrease in others,” a Downing Street source said. in The Sun. The changes could be announced in the coming weeks, according to the outlet.

This plan has already received the support of the business community, the FT notes. However, he could face opposition from some of Truss’s Cabinet colleagues. Anti-immigration sentiment was a major driving force behind the 2016 referendum to leave the EU, the newspaper recalled.
