Brexit: How does the new UK points-based immigration system work?

Since the start of 2021, European Union (EU) citizens not already living in the UK have been treated the same way as those from the rest of the world.

It means that anyone wants to live and work in the UK has to apply via a points-based system.

Why has immigration to the UK changed?

· When the UK was an EU member, people from EU countries had an automatic right to work in the UK.

· Taking control of immigration was one of the key themes of the Leave campaign in the 2016 referendum.

· The new system for work visas is based on points.

· The exception to this is Irish citizens, who are still able to live and work in the UK as part of the Common Travel Area.
