UK Prime Minister Keir-Starmer

The United Kingdom has published a comprehensive new immigration white paper outlining significant changes across various sectors.

A white paper is an official government document that outlines final policy proposals and can sometimes serve as a draft for future legislation.

Released on Monday by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s administration, the extensive 82-page document marks a sharp policy shift aimed at reducing immigration and reshaping the UK’s border control strategy.

In a press briefing, Starmer emphasized that the plan is designed to “regain control of our borders,” blaming the previous Conservative government for a surge in immigration levels.

“This plan will reduce migration — that’s a promise,” he stated. “If additional action is needed to ease pressure on housing and public services, we’ll take it. But this isn’t just about numbers.”

The UK will halt international recruitment for social care roles, a route that previously enabled doctors, nurses, and adult care professionals to work with approved employers, such as the NHS.

This change aligns with broader reforms to raise the skill threshold for migrants.

Those already in the UK on social care visas may extend or switch their status until 2028, during a transitional period as a domestic workforce strategy is developed.

Migrants will now need to live in the UK for 10 years — double the previous five — before becoming eligible for permanent residency.

This change is intended to ensure only individuals making significant economic contributions remain.
