Care Workers Eligible for Health and Care Visa (2022)

Back in December 2021, Health & Social Care Secretary Savid Javid announced that the Health & Care visa would be boosted following reccomendations from the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC). This is initially for a 12 month period.

This change makes care workers and home carers eligible for the Health and Care visa and adds those roles to the Shortage Occupation List.

The temporary measures have now come into force from 15th February 2022. The link below will provide all of the relevant guidance for appplying for the visa.
