London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2015 -- A number of public individuals have raised the concern regarding changes to the Tier 2 visa scheme changes, which were implemented on 29th October 2015. The Tier 2 VISA scheme is focused on the entrance of skilled workers – which can include medical professionals, technicians and teachers. The changes have included additional financial considerations which mean that many skilled workers from overseas have been potentially dissuaded from bringing their services to Britain. Critics argue that this has come at a great loss (financial and in terms of services) to the public sector and is not constructive.
According to The Office for National Statistics, skilled workers (those who enter on the Tier 2 scheme) make up about 7.5% of the UK's immigration intake. The resultant of changes to Tier 2 has in effect made it harder for people to enter in this way – but even if numbers decline, it is from a small percentage, so only making a limited difference to the UK net migration overall. Critics argue that Tier 2 is the wrong area to target with harsh restrictions and is actually depriving the UK of skilled workers who make a positive contribution to the economy.
Garth Coates is a key example of an immigration law specialist, providing extensive advice to those concerned about the Tier 2 changes. A spokesperson had this to say:
"The Tier 2 changes involve a number of components – and it is important that applicants understand the whole of this, as well as British employees and businesses taking on these skilled workers. When Tier 2 immigration is well-handled and compassionately considered, people shouldn't have to feel at a position of loss."
