The United Kingdom has removed over 100 occupations from its skilled worker visa list, a major change that could bar thousands of foreign applicants from working in the country.
The update was made in July, two month after the Keir Starmer-led British administration published an 82-page white paper on immigration.

At the time, the British government said it would terminate the social care work visa routes and reduce reliance on international recruitment.
In a statement on Saturday, the Home Office said “a fairer, skills-focused system is now taking shape”.
“More than 100 occupations are no longer eligible for overseas recruitment – opening up more jobs for British workers,” the statement added.

Among the roles affected are delivery operatives, beauticians, hairdressers, air traffic control assistants, army officers, and construction operatives — some popular choices among immigrants.
