star this property answer text <p>Immigration is a reserved matter and the Government’s immigration policy applies to the whole of the United Kingdom. We consider the needs of the UK as a whole and are committed to developing an immigration system that serves the national interest.</p><p><br>We have set out our proposals for the future border and immigration system that would operate after 2021, in a White Paper published in December. As set out in the White Paper, we will provide for a single, global immigration system that will be based on skills rather than on where someone comes from – and is designed to attract international talent and work in the best interests of the UK economy as a whole.</p><p><br>Scotland’s particular circumstances and needs for skilled labour continue to be accounted for through the Scotland-specific Shortage Occupation List which allows immigration to address the gaps in Scotland’s labour market. The list broadly reflects the wider UK Shortage Occupation List, suggesting that Scotland’s skills needs are largely aligned with the rest of the UK.</p>

PhD level roles and those in recognised shortage will be exempt from the £35,000 threshold.</p><p>Data of the number of people employed in specific regions of the United Kingdom is not available. The Home Office holds individual records showing the working location of Tier 2 (General) migrants, but centralised records show the registered address of the Tier 2 Sponsor, which is normally that organisation’s Head Office.</p><p>The Home Office published a full impact assessment on the changes to Tier 2 settlement rules when they were laid before Parliament on 15 March 2012. This includes the impact on the top ten occupations and is available on the gov.uk website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/117957/impact-assessment-tier2.pdf</p> more like this
