The visa encourages talented minds to work and settle in the UK.

The Brexit vote came into effect from March 2019. According to this policy, the UK no longer needed to follow the immigration rules of the EU. They could create their own set of rules.

The previous EU laws had enabled Europeans to move across Europe. The European Nationals could work and settle in any European country with full access to labour markets.

The UK received a lot of low-skilled migrants from other European countries due to this rule.

With the Brexit vote, the UK put a stop to this. This step reduced unwanted migration to the UK to a great extent. Thus, the UK now wants to attract skilled people from non-European countries to come and settle there.
