The UK government this week announced changes to visa and immigration rules that stand to benefit Korean businesses and students. The changes will give greater flexibility to business
visitors and to businesses that employ and sponsor international migrants. This will also make the UK more attractive to Korean students by allowing them to take up corporate internships
after completing their degree and making it easier for graduate entrepreneurs to take up skilled jobs.
The changes to the business visitor route will allow employees to undertake corporate training in the UK where it is delivered by an external company. Global organisations will now be able
to bring their own auditors to the UK on a business visitor visa, making it easier for them to complete international audits. Business visitors will also be able to do a short course of
study while they are here.
Individuals on Graduate Entrepreneur visas will be able to switch to a skilled workers visa more easily under the new rules, ensuring that the best global talent is able to stay in the UK to
work. They will be able to switch visas for a job with a “new entrant” salary and the sponsor won’t have to complete a Resident Labour Market Test.
