The UK has moved towards a points-based migration
system since January 1st, 2021. This essentially
implicates that the country considers factors
such as skills, qualifications, professions,
salaries and age of the applicant to grant
residency to skilled professionals. International
students pursuing higher education in the UK
(followed by post-study work visa) can benefit
from this system by carefully choosing those
courses which are related to those listed in the
United Kingdom Shortage Occupation List. If you
satisfy this criteria, an additional 20 points
will be awarded to your permanent residency
application.
