We have published an ambitious White Paper, setting out proposals for our future skills-based immigration system, including a new Temporary Worker route, open to all skill levels, to ensure UK businesses and employers have the staff they need, including seasonal workers.
Following a cooling off period, previous holders of a temporary short-term work visa will be eligible to apply for another temporary work visa to come to the UK.
