UK visas to be controlled by research agency

The UK government has announced that a new type of visa for scientists will become available next month after the country leaves the European Union. Crucially, a research funding agency—UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)—will be in charge of the process instead of the office that normally handles visas and immigration. “The new Global Talent Visa is most welcome, helping to bring the UK the specialist skills we need to advance science,” says Tanya Sheridan, the Royal Society of Chemistry’s policy and evidence manager. As Prime Minister Boris Johnson had said he wanted, there will be no limit on the number of such visas issued, and recipients will not be tied to a specific job or institution. Additionally, there is no minimum salary requirement or need to prove English language skills, and scientists can bring their families with them. Scientists from the EU currently account for 16% of researchers at universities
