Navigating New UK Immigration Rules: The 2025 Changes

On 1 July 2025, the Home Office unveiled a pivotal Statement of Changes to the Immigration Rules (HC 997), building on the Government’s Immigration White Paper. This marks a significant step in what the Government describes as a “complete immigration reset,” aimed at reducing net migration, tightening work visa criteria, and enhancing compliance.

In our latest podcast episode, join Ruth Karimatsenga and Monica Mastropasqua from the Clarkslegal immigration team as they guide you through the new 2025 UK Immigration Rules.
