Given the much wider range of professions which qualify for the current Skilled Worker Visa compared to its predecessor, there are many more opportunities to do this than in the past.</p><p>In addition, the BN(O) route which was launched on 31 January 2021 enables BN(O) status holders and their eligible family members to live, work and study in the UK on a pathway to citizenship should they decide it is the right choice for them.</p><p>On 24 February 2022, the Government announced changes to the BN(O) route to allow eligible adult children of a BN(O) status holder to apply for the route independently of their parents, provided they meet all other eligibility and suitability requirements for the route. This change will be implemented from the Autumn with further detail to be published in due course. Those who are eligible and already in the UK on a student visa can switch into the BN(O) route from within the UK.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 23/03/2022 12:54:08 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster previous answer version 56905 answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
