Oh man, the buzz around Keir Starmer's new UK immigration rules is everywhere! 🗣️ These changes are pretty massive. So, first up, they've made the English language tests tougher for anyone wanting to stay in the UK. 📚 It seems like they're trying to ensure people can really blend into British society.

Now, one huge change is that getting 'settled status' is gonna take longer. Instead of five years, you might be waiting ten unless you're a high-contributing professional like a doctor or nurse. Plus, there's a kind of twist with the 'bereaved parent visa' that lets some folks stay if their child passes away.

And don’t get me started on the family and work visa stuff—it’s getting a lot more complicated. Like, even dependents have got to know some basic English, yeah? 🤷

They're also clamping down on certain types of visas, like the ones for social care workers, planning to phase them out by 2028. It's all a part of Starmer's grand plan to cut net migration by 2029 and focus more on highly skilled people. Basically, if you're thinking of going to the UK, you might need to up your game or at least your English. Good luck! 🎯
