The Government is committed to ensuring scientists and researchers have access to visas that work for them. The United Kingdom has a strong immigration offer for scientists and researchers, including the Skilled Worker and Global Talent routes, and we continually keep our policies under review.
The Home Office and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology are in regular communication on a range of issues.
