00:18effective July 2025, identify which visa categories are affected, explain the importance of job codes
00:26and standard going rates, outline exceptions for health and education sectors, clarify salary

00:39along with anticipated future increases. Watch till the end to arm yourself with strategic
00:45planning tips that could make or break your ILR eligibility.
01:03Starting July 22nd 2025, applying for indefinite leave to remain ILR in the UK will come with a
01:11stricter salary requirement £41,700 per year. The UK government's latest changes to immigration
01:19rules will impact skilled worker and health and care worker visa holders significantly.
01:25If you're aiming to settle in the UK permanently, it's crucial to understand how this affects your
01:31eligibility. The full version of this video update is available on our website, link mentioned in the
01:39description below and support our channel by sharing our video updates on Facebook, WhatsApp and X.
01:49Let's begin with new salary threshold for ILR from July 2025.
01:56From July 22nd 2025, the minimum salary required to qualify for ILR under the skilled worker route will
02:04rise to £41,700. Applicants must earn either this new threshold or the standard going rate for their
02:13occupation, whichever is higher. Next, we explore which visa categories are affected.
02:27The changes impact skilled worker and health and care worker visa holders.
02:32Even those applying for visa extensions must now meet these updated salary rules.
02:39Moving on to the role of job codes and standard going rates.
02:44Each occupation has a designated code and a going rate. For example, if your job's going rate is £42,000,
02:52you must earn at least that amount, not just the £41,700 ILR threshold. These figures vary widely across sectors.
03:04Then we examine exceptions for health and education sectors.
03:10Certain roles within the NHS or education are governed by national pay scales. To qualify, applicants must meet the
03:17highest of the following salary thresholds. £29,000, which is the general healthcare threshold, £23,200
03:27if the job is listed on the immigration salary list, or the national pay scale rate applicable to their
03:33specific role. Following that, we look at salary requirements based on visa issue date.
03:40Those who received a certificate of sponsorship before April 4th, 2024 may follow transitional salary criteria, but new applicants,
03:52or those switching visas, must fully comply with the updated rules.
03:56Next, we discuss what if you don't meet the salary threshold. Failure to meet the required salary
04:06could jeopardise your ILR application. The Home Office has made it clear there's no transitional relief.
04:13This could lead to visa holders remaining on temporary status longer, possibly up to 10 years.
04:20Then we explore future increases and strategic planning.
04:24The salary threshold has steadily risen from £26,000 to £38,700 and now to £41,700.
04:38This upward trend suggests it may rise again. Applicants should plan promotions, negotiate raises,
04:44or consider switching employers to remain eligible.
04:50Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.
04:52The upcoming ILR salary rule change is a major policy shift that could delay permanent residency for many
05:00migrants in the UK. Check your occupation code, current salary, and standard going rate carefully.
05:07Stay informed, plan ahead, and consult immigration professionals if needed.
05:13Remember, this is not legal advice, just essential information to guide your next steps.
