The United Kingdom government has increased the general salary threshold for those arriving in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa from £26,200 to £38,700.
According to the Home Secretary, James Cleverly, the minimum wage increased by 48 per cent to cut migration and put British workers first in force.
Changes that are now in force will slash migration and prevent the undercutting of British workers by employers looking to recruit cheap labour from overseas.
In the statement issued on its website on Thursday, the UK businesses are now required to pay overseas workers coming to the UK on a Skilled Worker visa significantly more,.
It said the government is to clamp down on the price of foreign labour and continues to deliver on its commitment to drive down net migration.
