<p>The Government announced in 2012 that from 6 April 2016 Tier 2 visa holders who
apply for settlement in the UK will be required to meet a minimum annual salary requirement
of £35,000. 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
