Brexit: UK Government is considering giving Young EU migrants two-year work visas after Brexit
The committee of the Migration Advisory Commission of the UK has suggested that EU migrants under aged 30 would likely have positive impacts on the UK economy because of their longer working life and lower risk of health problem and a proposal has been put forward to give these young EU migrants two-year visas to live and work in the UK after Brexit.
The proposal has, in particular, suggested a points-based system similar to the Australian one in which younger migrants would receive more points or be given a lower salary threshold. It is expected that those young people will be able to integrate much better into the society than older migrants. It is also suggested that migrants will further benefit the society economically due to their diverse skill sets.
On the other hand, the proposal has suggested curbing low-skilled migration but allowing migrants with specific, in-demand skills to come to the UK.
Although Brexit will be executed in 2019, the UK Government has indicated that EU citizens will still be able to enter UK under a “registration and documentation” route during a transitional period after Brexit.
