Foreign care workers will no longer get visas under immigration crackdown, says home secretary

  • On May 12, 2025, the UK Home Office announced a White Paper outlining plans to close the care worker visa and tighten skilled worker visa rules.
  • These changes follow concerns about a failed immigration system, rising net migration, and the demand to shift focus toward domestic training.
  • The policy raises the skilled visa threshold to graduate-level jobs, removes overseas recruitment for care workers, and requires businesses to develop training plans for UK workers.
  • Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the reforms will likely reduce lower-skilled visas by up to 50,000 within the next year and stressed the need for a fair, controlled system.
  • These measures aim to restore public confidence and reduce immigration but prompted concerns from employers about filling skill shortages and possible impacts on the care sector.
