Britain is launching a new visa system to make it easier for science, research and technology workers overseas to move to Britain, the country’s Chancellor of the Exchequer said on Wednesday.
Rishi Sunak told lawmakers that he hoped to make Britain the best place in the world for high-growth, innovative companies and to make the four nations internationally competitive.
“I’m announcing ambitious visa reform aimed at highly skilled migrants,” he said.
According to him, this includes a new unsponsored points-based visa to attract the best and most promising international talent in science, research and tech.

A religious leader in Kano, Dr Bashir Umar, has warned against undue conspiracy and spreading of fake news on the COVID-19 vaccination.
Umar gave the warning at a one-day forum, organised for religious leaders on Sunday in Kano.
The forum was organised by the Islamic Forum of Nigeria to educate religious leaders on the importance of COVID-19 vaccination.
The forum was also aimed at explaining to the religious leaders the need for them to mobilise their followers, ahead of the vaccination.
Umar noted that it was wrong for people to jump into conclusion on issues not known to them, especially as they related to public health issues.
