Migrants will have to prove that they are shareholders in society and have never demanded advantages to qualify for permanent residence in Britain, under new bases set by the government on Monday.

Interior Minister Shabana Mahmoud will announce plans to prevent foreign nationals from obtaining an unlimited vacation to stay in the United Kingdom if they have a criminal record or do not speak English to a high level.

The proposals also state that foreign citizens must volunteer in their society and pay national insurance to qualify to obtain permanent residence. This will not apply to immigrants who have already settled in Britain.

In a letter to Labor Party The conference, Mahmoud will say that many Britons feel that things “are out of control” and that “patriotism, strength for good, turns into something smaller, something similar to ethnic nationalism.”

The government seeks to draw a clear division line with UK reform, which is earlier This month She pledged to urge the vacation indefinitely to stay for immigrants, as leader Nigel Faraj warned, “The era of cheap foreign action has ended.”

Under the reform plans, hundreds of thousands of foreign citizens, including those who have already a situation, will be deported.

Mahmoud’s reforms, which will be consulted later in the year, based on the pledge of the former Labor Party to extend the virtual period that migrants need in Britain before they can apply for an unlimited leave to stay from five to ten years.

During her first speech as Minister of Interior, she will warn that if the government does not succeed, “he will send the years.

But critics argue that the ministers are sending a message that Faraj’s diagnosis of the country’s problems is wrong, while at the same time they implicitly recognize a problem with how permanent residency in Britain is granted.

Marley Morris, assistant director of the IPPR evaluation, said that the refugees have already been able to reach the social welfare system, which raised questions about whether they will be not eligible to obtain ILR under the new policy.

Care workers will also be affected by planned changes. Tens of thousands who have come to the United Kingdom since 2022 are believed to be believed that their employers are unable to provide promised work and lose their care license.

They are not currently qualifying for advantages, but they may not pay national insurance if they are out of work, and they may struggle to meet the strict English requirements.

However, most skilled workers will not be affected only by the new requirements to do community volunteering.

Lawyers and immigration consultants said that this party of this policy can lead to long lines of visa owners who apply to be school rulers, and to make companies for companies ready to adopt efforts to capture garbage.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer described the immigration policy in Farraj as “racist” and “immoral”, although he made it clear that he did not believe that the people who supported the policy were “racists”. Starmer assistants admitted that the use of “R-Word” was not previously planned.

Diaa Youssef, head of reform policies in the United Kingdom, said on Sunday: “The Labor Party’s message to the country is clear: pushing hundreds of billions to flaws to foreign citizens to live outside the state forever, or that the Labor Party will invite you racist.”
