Immigration Law Update for Sponsors: Key Changes to the Skilled Worker route

About this webinar

This live webinar for sponsors will provide a clear overview of the Skilled Worker route changes introduced on 22 July 2025. Following the government’s May 2025 immigration white paper, Restoring Control over the Immigration System, significant changes to the immigration rules have been introduced, with further reforms expected. During this webinar, Calum Hanrahan and Natallie Jones will cover:

• Removal of 180 roles eligible for sponsorship
• Updated salary thresholds and going rates for SOC codes
• Transitional provisions for those already on the Skilled Worker route prior to 22 July 2025
• Introduction of the new Temporary Shortage List
• Practical guidance on implementing the July rule changes

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and receive expert advice on any immigration law matters arising from the white paper. You can submit any questions in advance to events@shma.co.uk.
