<p>We have been clear that we want all EU nationals, including those working in the
NHS and the care sector, to stay in the UK after we leave the EU.</p><p><br>In December
2018, the Government set out its proposals in “The UK’s future Skills-based Immigration
System” White Paper. The White Paper proposals include a new route for skilled workers
which will be open to anyone at RQF level 3 and above, irrespective of where they
are applying from. This route will not be capped allowing all of those who meet our
requirements to come to the UK and we intend to abolish the existing Resident Labour
Market Test for highly skilled roles.</p><p><br>The White Paper also includes, as
a transitional measure, a temporary workers route which will be open to anyone from
qualifying countries, wishing to fill positions at any skill level, for up to 12 months.
We do not intend to impose a cap on the number of people wishing to use the route.</p><p><br>In
their report on the impact of EEA migration in the UK, the independent Migration Advisory
Committee (MAC) recommended maintaining the existing system of salary thresholds.</p><p>The
Government is undertaking an extensive programme of engagement with a wide range of
stakeholders across the UK, over the course of this year, including with the private,
public and voluntary sector and local government, as well as industry representatives
and individual businesses before taking a final decision on the level of salary thresholds.</p>
