India and the UK have signed an ambitious new migration partnership, which will see both countries benefit from a new scheme for young Indian and British professionals to live and work in one another's countries, thereby boosting work visas for Indian nationals and enhancing migration cooperation between the two nations. The agreement will allow thousands of 18-30-year-olds to work and live in each other's country for up to two years. "The landmark Migration and Mobility Partnership announced today will create new opportunities for young Indian professionals in the UK whilst also enhancing cooperation to ensure our system supports genuine workers and students," added Ellis. "Indian student numbers to the UK are growing fast, and nearly half of all UK skilled work visas go to Indian professionals - contributing significantly to shared prosperity and mutual understanding. I'm confident the new the post-study Graduate Route and Young Professionals scheme will significantly increase those numbers," said Ellis.
