This webinar explains the major Skilled Worker visa changes introduced on 22 July 2025 and how they affect employers in Scotland. The new rules raised the skill requirement to RQF 6 (degree level) and removed more than 100 roles from eligibility.
The session outlines what these changes mean for recruitment, the new Temporary Shortage List (TSL) and Immigration Salary List (ISL), and when exceptions still apply.
It also covers updates to the Care Worker route, working examples from Scottish industries, and practical steps employers can take to plan ahead and remain compliant.
