The new system will assign points for specific skills, qualifications, salaries or professions and only give visas to those who have enough points. EU citizens will not need a visa to enter Britain as a visitor for up to six months. Skilled workers will need to meet criteria including specific skills and the ability to speak English, the government said, and those applying will need to have a job offer. There will be no specific entry route for low-skilled workers, something the government hopes will help reduce the number of migrants. Students will be covered by the points-based system, the government said, while there will be separate initiatives for scientists, graduates, National Health Service workers and those in the agricultural sector.
