The UK Points-Based Immigration System was introduced in January 2021 to manage immigration from both EU and non-EU countries. It requires applicants to earn a specific number of points based on criteria such as job offer, skill level, English language proficiency, and salary. A minimum of 70 points is needed to qualify for a visa. This system aims to attract skilled workers to the UK economy while ensuring that immigration is controlled and fair. Different visa categories exist, including the Skilled Worker Visa and the Global Talent Visa, each with its own requirements and point allocations.
