UKRI welcomes changes to UK government immigration rules
|
|
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has published an online piece welcoming the government’s autumn immigration rules change on 10 September.
The changes to the Temporary Worker and Global Talent Visa (GTV) schemes will enable a further widening of support that UKRI mobility schemes can offer international researchers.
The UKRI Temporary Worker Government Authorised Exchange Visa (T5) mobility scheme for researchers will expand eligibility to include UKRI-eligible public sector research establishments. Meanwhile, the Global Talent Visa endorsed funder criteria will be simplified.
