The British government has come out with some new requirements for UK visas, and it actually makes it easier for some South Africans to now gain access to the UK. The recent clamp down really reduced how many people could go and work in the UK, but in terms of the new requirements, you will need to earn at least 75 points, and for example, if you hold a Bachelors Degree that will automatically get you 30 points.

In other words, people who hold a BA will now be able to enter the UK much more easily. They will also look at what you are earning with the minimum level of earnings from which you can claim points set at £25 000,00. This is not actually based on the exchange rate, but on a multiplier. Let’s hope that this does not lead to us losing a few more talented South Africans.
