The UK government has proposed a new immigration law in which immigrants who want to sponsor their family members like spouse, or children will need to show a minimum family income of £38,700 annually. The Prime Minister of the UK, Mr Rishi Sunak has said that this change will be implemented in stages. It will be fully implemented by the beginning of 2025. For 2024, the government has decided to make the minimum financial requirement for family visas £28,900 annually.
The government has said that any international immigrant who wants to settle their family in the UK must be able to support them financially. This is the reason why the minimum financial requirement for a family visa has been raised. This will help in decreasing the financial pressure on the already existing taxpayers.
