The Settlement Reckoning
Published 1 week ago
Description
UK net migration was 171,000 in 2025, down 48 percent, with work visas down 18 percent and study visas down 11 percent, yet settlement grants rose 24 percent to 199,628, the highest since 2011. About 1.6 million people become eligible for settlement between 2026 and 2030, the May 2026 White Paper raised skill thresholds, and the family visa threshold debate continues.
