UK Visa Update by Midex88(op): 4:31pm On Jul 23, 2025
IMPORTANT INFO

From yesterday 22/7/25, the UK new immigration law has come into FULL effects

The UK has permanently closed the door to foreign skilled worker through "care jobs" and about 180 other job categories.

That route is no longer available. Please do not be deceived if anyone is asking to pay to get sponsorship for such. Pls ignore the person, S'ope otilor!

Even as student, Post study visa duration has been reduced to 18 months from the previous two years it used to be ( As of July 22, 2025, the UK government plans to reduce the standard Graduate Route visa duration to 18 months for most students completing undergraduate or master's degrees. However, the exact start date for the reduced Graduate Route duration has not been officially confirmed)

Do not forget you will not be allowed to bring in your wife, your husband and your kids while on study visa except ur study is research based

This means that after selling your house to come to the UK to do Masters degree in Economics, Public Health or Language study, you have one and half years to look for a job that will pay you £41,700 which is the minimum you can get before you can be sponsored

The minimum salary threshold to get sponsored now is now £41,700 per annum from around £25,000 prior to now

Most employers cannot afford to pay such to offer you sponsorship, hence the reason for lack of COS

So if you still have that 30 million naira you want to use to pay school fees in the UK, I will advise you to use it wisely or look elsewhere because technically, Youk don kast ❗️‼️

This post is not intended to scare you, but to educate you on what's on ground now and keep you informed

I expect you to argue and disagree with this post, but the REALITY is waiting for you if you dare it

Make I quickly go look for my urgent 2k before you say what I wrote issa lie 🏃‍♀️

Good morning

A lot of the European countries had a minimum salary to switch from study to work visa. I am surprised the UK never had it

They have always had it: they just increased it so most study visa holders will not be eligible.

It was 26000 pounds/annum, then 38700 and now 41000.

Spain is 45000 euros and has always been so. Many Spaniards don’t even earn up to 20000 euros per annum 😆😆😆
