UK Visa cap consultation now launched

Visa Bureau is not affiliated with the Australian Government but is an independent UK company. Australian visas are available from the Australian Government at a lower cost or for free when you apply directly. Our comprehensive visa and immigration services include immigration advice from registered migration agents, a 100% success rate, document checking and expedited visa processing.

The expert body that advises government on the impacts of immigration has launched a consultation on the annual UK Visa limit for non-EU migrants.

The Migration Advisory Committee will gather evidence to help determine the appropriate UK Visa limit, which will be implemented in April 2011.

Submissions can be made to the consultation until 7 September 2010, and the advice will be presented to the government by the end of that month.

The process will look at Tier 1 and 2 of the UK immigration points system, and cover both skilled people applying to work in the UK with a job offer, and those applying without an offer.

MAC chair, Professor David Metcalf, said: “The MAC is pleased that it has been asked to carry out this work and looks forward to working with its partners to develop robust and well-informed advice to the government.”

The UK Visa Bureau is an independent consulting company specialising in helping people with their UK Visa applications to the British High Commission.
