It gets tougher for Indian IT professionals in UK
Bangalore: The UK government has accepted recommendations for stricter immigration norms and restricting job opportunities for skilled migrant workers from countries like India, reports Economic Times.
The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) report submitted by the committee`s Chairman, Professor David Metcalf to UK`s Home Office last month recommended that the threshold salary levels for allowing entry of a graduate skilled worker be raised from the current 17,000 pounds. This will make it tougher to earn points needed for allocation of work permits.
With more stringent norms, companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Tech Mahindra which serve British customers such as BT, British Petroleum and British Airways by sending Indian professionals to the country on short term project assignments, may now have to look for local UK workers.
