UK Slashes Indian Work Visas by 67%

UK Slashes Indian Work Visas by 67%

The UK has made big changes to its immigration rules, which has led to fewer work visas being given to Indian professionals.

This especially affects people working in healthcare and IT.

The number of Health and Care Worker visas dropped by 67%, and nursing visas fell by 79%.

IT professional visas also decreased by 20%.

These changes are part of the UK's plan to control how many people come into the country.

The UK also made it harder for international students, including those from India, to stay and work after graduation.

They shortened the time students can stay to find a job and added more rules.

Even with these changes, India and the UK are still talking about how to make it easier for skilled workers to move between the countries.
