The City of London wants a new “digital skills visa” to shore up the UK’s position as a financial technology hub against a growing threat from rival cities. The proposal is that younger people with vital digital skills should be allowed to move to the UK even if they do not have a job offer.
But it is the idea of a digital skills visa that could attract much attention. UK employers across a range of sectors have voiced concerns about talent shortages post-Brexit, but some areas such as tech are likely to be hit harder than others once EU nationals come under a visa regime. The current system of border controls for non-EU citizens demands that migrant jobseekers meet strict criteria on qualifications and are paid generous salaries.
