? UK Earned Settlement 2025 – FULL EXPLANATION + ALL YOUR IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ANSWERED!
In this video, I break down the NEW UK Government “Earned Settlement” proposal from the November 2025 Command Paper.
These changes could impact Skilled Workers, NHS staff, Health & Care Workers, dependants, students, PSW holders, GTV dependants, , and more.
The consultation is NOT law yet, but nearly 2 million migrants may be affected when the new rules are implemented.
