If the modifications are put into effect, qualified foreign workers, including experts from nations like Nigeria and India who are still looking for work in the UK, may have easier access to positions in the UK. Reducing occupation-specific income requirements under the Skilled Worker visa route is one of the MAC's main recommendations.
