Visa rules eased for building and fishing industry

By Sam FrancisPolitical reporter, BBC News

Visa rules are being eased for overseas builders, carpenters and people working in The Fishing industry, the Home Office has confirmed.

Roofers and plasterers have also been added to the Shortage Occupation List, which temporarily eases visa restrictions in areas where employers are struggling to fill vacancies.

The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to The List .

No Home Office minister was available for comment on The Changes .

Advisors on MAC recommended five jobs for inclusion on the shortage occupations list:

The Home Office also added jobs in The Fishing trade to The List , alongside connected " elementary agriculture occupations".

People on the shortage occupation list can apply for a to work in the UK.

Those working in a shortage occupation pay lower visa fees and can be paid 80% of The Job 's usual rate and still qualify for a visa.

Applicants will still need a sponsored job offer from an employer and to meet English Language requirements.

The shortage list is reviewed every six months, with another review is expected by the autumn.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has previously complained migration into the UK is " too high" after net migration reached record levels Last Year .

According to The Office for National Statistics (ONS), immigration saw in 2022.

In a speech in May, Home Secretary Suella Braverman called for UK businesses in a bid to reduce immigration.

MAC's, published in March On the same day as the Budget, found vacancies rose sharply in both hospitality and construction, relative to pre-pandemic levels.

Advisors on MAC did not recommend any hospitality occupations be included, although it said Brexit and the pandemic had " significant effects" in both sectors.

Vacancies are 65% higher in construction compared to pre-pandemic levels, The Report found. This compares to an increase of 42% in the overall economy.

Adding construction workers to the shortage list would not make a major difference to overall migration figures, MAC found.

The Committee said its review was based on whether an occupation made up More Than 0. 5% of the sector workforce and earned below the current general threshold for migrants which stands at £26,200.

It said it also considered the " strategic importance of construction for the UK economy" and how its workforce was likely to change in The Next decade, with " demand likely to increase markedly".

Suzannah Nichol, Build Uk Chief Executive, said she welcomed The News , adding: " It is vital that construction is able to fill vacancies and quickly address shortages around particular roles. "
