Thorntons Immigration Webinar – Immigration Updates

21 April 2022, 9:30 am - 10:30 am

The way UK employers undertake Right to Work checks is changing from 6 April 2022 as part of the Home Office’s continued effort to move to digitalisation. Failure to adhere to these new changes could lead to employers facing sanctions, including but not limited to, a civil penalty of up to £20,000 per illegal worker. It is therefore vital that employers are fully aware of the changes.

From 11 April 2022, the visa routes including the Intra-Company Transfer route, Intra-Company Graduate Trainee route, Representative of an Overseas Business category Visa (apart from for Media representatives), contractual service supplier and independent professional will all be closed to new applicants.  These visa routes will be replaced by the new Global Business Mobility visa route.

We will host an immigration webinar and Q&A with Immigration specialist, Gurjit Pall,  where he will share his insight on developments in Immigration Law and in particular, the changes to the Right to Work checks and the introduction of the new immigration visa routes.

This webinar will cover:

  • The changes in how employers must carry out Right to Work checks on potential employees and existing employees, with limited leave in the UK, from 6 April 2022.
  • Practical insight on the steps your organisation needs to take to ensure compliance with the digitalisation of UK Immigration processes
  • Context to understand the main changes as a result of the Statement of changes to Immigration Rules

What will I learn?

You will be given practical tips and advice on new developments in Immigration law published by the UK Government on 15 March 2022 and the new immigration visa routes introduced for business migration as a result of the overhauled Points-Based Immigration System.

Who should attend?

  • Anyone with a role in HR
  • Managers
  • Business owners
