“Am primit refuz la rezidență și am aplicat la viza de familie ca să fiu în ordine”

Am văzut destul de des postări în care persoane care au primit refuz la aplicații de rezidență ca membri de familie au continuat să rămână în UK după refuz afirmând că au aplicat pentru viză de familie, ca să fie în ordine cu actele.

Lucrurile stau diferit cu aplicatul pentru viza din interiorul UK și, de fapt, ori nu au aplicat pentru viză de familie ori, pentru ca nu știu legile și nu citesc dinainte pe site-ul guvernului, au fost păcalite și li s-a “vândut” aplicația la rezidență ca fiind pentru viză, de catre diverși “experți”, contabili wannabe, falși avocați sau simpli țepari.

Când nu poți obține o viză de familie
Nu poți aplica pentru o viză de familie sau schimba către o viză de familie când ești în UK cu o viză de vizitator sau o viză pentru 6 luni sau mai puțin.

Va trebui să părăsești UK pentru a aplica pentru o viză de familie:

  • dacă ai permisiunea de a fi în UK ca vizitator (și când treceți ca turiști pe la e-gates tot permisiune de vizitator primiți din partea sistemului, chiar dacă nu aveți standard visitor visa sau ștampilă cu 6 luni în pașaport)
  • dacă viza ta este pentru 6 luni sau mai puțin

Poți schimba către o viză de familie în UK doar dacă ești intrat deja cu o viză de familie de 6 luni ca logodnic, logodnică sau partener civil propus sau dacă ai permisiunea de a rămâne în UK pentru soluționarea unui proces în instanța de familie sau a unui divorț.

La fel, nu poți aplica pentru o viză de familie dacă membrul tău de familie (persoana în baza căreia aplici) se află temporar în UK cu o viză de muncă sau viză de student. În situația asta, poți aplica în schimb pentru a rămâne cu ei ca dependant.

Deci ca să fie lucrurile clare, nu poți să vii ca turist, să aplici la rezidență ca membru de familie și să primești refuz, după care să aplici la viza de familie în timp ce te afli încă în UK.

Cum poți să vii legal la muncă în UK după 1 ianuarie 2021 – ghidul noului venit

Pentru cei care vor să vină să muncească în UK

dacă n-ai mai fost niciodată în UK sau ai fost mai demult în trecere, și ești tentat să vii sau te-a chemat careva aici, trebuie să știi că regulile s-au schimbat și nu mai intri direct pe piața muncii ca înainte, când veneai ca turist și te angajai pe baza de buletin/pașaport și nino. Din 1 ianuarie 2021, ai nevoie de viză de muncă.

Ce înseamnă asta pentru tine:

  • Nu poți lucra fără viză dacă ai venit după 1 ianuarie 2021.
  • Ai nevoie de o calificare din lista agreată de guvern și de o ofertă de muncă de la o firmă din UK care este autorizată să sponsorizeze. Firma îți dă un document numit certificat de sponsorizare.
  • Trebuie să aplici pentru viză înainte să vii în UK. Totul se face online, din țara de origine.

Ce ar trebui să faci mai întâi? Să te informezi cum stau lucrurile, ce înseamnă sistemul de vize, cum se aplică, dacă meseria în care ești calificat e eligibilă pentru sponsorizare, ce documente îți trebuie, cât te costă viza, cum să te ferești de scam cu actele, de promisiunile țeparilor, unde să găsești informații oficiale și unde să găsești suport.

Ce să nu faci: în primul rând să nu te pui la drum fără actele necesare. Să nu ceri pe social media să ți se facă acte, să nu abordezi triliardele de pagini de facebook care promit acte în UK, că nu așa se fac vizele, să nu te încrezi în promisiunile unora și altora că îți fac ei vize și îți dau și job. Să verifici tot ce ți se spune, la sursă, pe site-ul guvernului, nu cu ChatGPT și să verifici pe oricine te abordează dacă pretinde că e contabil, avocat, consilier de imigrație care se ocupa cu acte, să nu răspunzi la mesaje suspecte pe care nu le-ai solicitat, să nu trimiți nimănui în privat documentele tale personale și date sensibile, să nu trimiți bani în avans pentru acte în conturile care ți se dau în privat, pentru că taxele pentru aplicația de viză nu se plătesc decât la Home Office, online. Nu tot ce zboară se mănâncă.

Aici găsești :

Ce viză îți trebuie: gov.uk/check-uk-visa

Toate tipurile de vize: gov.uk/work-visas

Iar aici ai o listă de ghiduri utile în română, care acoperă cam tot ce ai nevoie să știi și să îți poți face o imagine de ansamblu:

Și nu uita că ETA, autorizația de călătorie fără de care nu poți călători spre UK, nu e viză și nu îți dă drept de muncă.

Noile costuri ale taxelor de imigrație și naționalitate Home Office iulie 2025

Măsurile anunțate în Immigration White Paper

Măsurile prezentate în documentul publicat de către Home Office, astăzi pe 12 mai, vor remodela sistemul britanic de imigrație, restabilind ordinea într-un sistem eșuat care a dus la cvadruplarea migrației nete între 2019 și 2023.

În rezumat, politicile-cheie din planul de 82 de pagini, intitulat Restoring Control over the Immigration System, includ următoarele:

Reducerea imigrației

  • Reducerea numărului de imigranți cu aproximativ 100.000 de persoane pe an
  • Va fi introdusă legislație care să precizeze clar că Guvernul și Parlamentul, nu instanțele de judecată, decid cine are dreptul să rămână în UK – vizând abuzul de Articolul 8 (right to family life) folosit pentru a bloca deportările.

Măsuri privind munca ilegală și criminalitatea

  • Se vor înăspri regulile aplicate atât la frontieră, cât și în sistemul de imigrație, pentru a refuza intrarea sau azilul celor care încalcă legea.
  • Atunci când o persoană încalcă regulile sau legile, să existe puteri mai mari de aplicare a legii, inclusiv localizare, arestare și deportare.
  • Cetățenii străini condamnați pentru infracțiuni vor fi marcați chiar și dacă nu au primit pedeapsă cu închisoarea; noile praguri pentru deportare vor reflecta gravitatea faptelor, inclusiv violența împotriva femeilor și fetelor.
  • Procedurile de deportare a infractorilor străini vor fi simplificate, cu măsuri suplimentare împotriva celor care comit infracțiuni curând după sosire.
  • Migranții vor fi obligați să dețină identitate digitală (eVize), care vor înlocui cardurile BRP – Biometric Residence Permits.
  • Controale mai stricte pentru cei care abuzează sistemul de imigrație sau care vin cu intenția de a cere azil fără un motiv real, când nu există o schimbare semnificativă în țara lor de origine.
  • Se continuă combaterea muncii ilegale, inclusiv în gig economy, folosind vizele electronice(eVisa) și tehnologie biometrică în razii sprijinite de cei 1.000 de angajați relocați către executare și deportări.
  • Controalele bancare vor fi actualizate pentru a reflecta schimbările tehnologice și a combate frauda, inclusiv evaziunea fiscală.
  • Se va face presiune asupra guvernelor străine care refuză să-și primească cetățenii înapoi.
  • Vor putea fi impuse sancțiuni financiare și pedepse sponsorilor (angajatori sau instituții) care abuzează sistemul de imigrație.

Reforme privind munca

  • Muncitorii calificați vor trebui să aibă diplome universitare pentru a veni în UK, iar pragul salarial va crește.
  • Taxa de competențe pentru imigrație – plătită de angajatorii sponsori – va crește cu 32%, pentru prima dată din 2017, conform inflației.
  • Se vor închide vizele pentru health care pentru noii solicitanți; persoanele deja în UK cu drept de muncă pot prelungi sau schimba viza până în 2028, sub rezerva unei revizuiri.
  • Se va crea un nou Grup de Evidență a Pieței Muncii (Labour Market Evidence Group), care va folosi date îmbunătățite în baza cărora se vor lua deciziile privind locurile de muncă și politica de migrație.
  • Accesul la sistemul de imigrație bazat pe puncte va fi limitat la ocupațiile deficitare pe termen lung, pentru o perioadă limitată de timp, acolo unde Comitetul Consultativ pentru Migrație (MAC) recomandă că este justificat și unde există o strategie pentru forța de muncă din sectoarele cheie care se bazează puternic pe recrutarea internațională. Angajatorii care doresc să recruteze din străinătate trebuie să crească recrutarea din forța de muncă internă.
  • Se va introduce o Listă Temporară a Deficitului de Forță de Muncă, care va permite acces limitat în timp la sistemul de imigrație pe bază de puncte pentru rolurile sub nivelul RQF 6.
  • Immigration Salary List (lista salariilor pentru imigrație), care oferea reduceri de la pragurile salariale, va fi desființată
  • Anumiți refugiați recunoscuți de ONU și persoane strămutate cu competențele necesare vor putea aplica prin ruta muncitorilor calificați.
  • Se vor deschide mai multe rute pentru persoane cu înaltă calificare să lucreze în UK.

Reforme privind studiile

  • Absolvenții internaționali vor putea rămâne în UK doar 18 luni după finalizarea studiilor din UK, față de 2 ani în prezent.
  • Se ia în considerare o taxă pe veniturile generate de studenții internaționali, iar fondurile ar putea fi direcționate către formarea forței de muncă locale.
  • Instituțiile care sponsorizează studenți vor avea condiții mai stricte pentru a putea recruta din străinătate.
  • Nota de trecere pentru indicatorii de conformitate va crește cu 5%, astfel încât sponsorii vor trebui să aibă o rată de înscriere de cel puțin 95% și o rată de finalizare de 90%.
  • Se va introduce un sistem de rating Roșu-Galben-Verde care va arăta nivelul de conformitate al fiecărui sponsor.
  • Sponsorii aflați în risc de neconformitate pot fi supuși unor planuri de acțiune și restricții privind numărul de studenți internaționali pe care îi pot aduce.
  • Instituțiile care folosesc agenți de recrutare din străinătate vor trebui să se înscrie în Cadrul de Calitate pentru Agenți, pentru a garanta standarde ridicate.
  • Universitățile și colegiile vor trebui să demonstreze că au luat în considerare impactul local atunci când planifică recrutarea de studenți internaționali.
  • Organismele care acreditează cursuri de studiu pe termen scurt vor fi revizuite pentru a întări controalele înainte și în timpul acreditării.

Măsuri pentru integrare și coeziune socială

  • Cerințele de limbă engleză pentru lucrătorii calificați și alte categorii vor crește de la nivelul B1 la B2 (utilizator independent conform CEFR).
  • Dependenții adulți ai lucrătorilor și studenților vor trebui să atingă cel puțin nivelul A1, cu planuri de creștere treptată.
  • La prelungirile de viză se va cere dovada progresului spre nivelul A2, iar pentru stabilirea permanentă va fi necesar nivelul B2.
  • Majoritatea rutelor de settlement vor avea ca cerință nivelul B2, în loc de B1.
  • Crește perioada standard necesară pentru obținerea statutului de rezident permanent la zece ani, pentru cei veniți pe sistemul de imigrație Points-Based System(cu vize de muncă)
  • Cei care aduc contribuții semnificative la economia sau societatea britanică ar putea obține stabilire și cetățenie mai rapid.
  • Membrii de familie ai cetățenilor britanici pot obține rezidență permanentă după cinci ani, iar protecțiile pentru victimele violenței domestice rămân în vigoare.
  • Părinții copiilor britanici sau cu statut stabilit care mor vor putea rămâne permanent în UK imediat.
  • Testul „Viața în UK” (necesar pentru cetățenie sau stabilire) va fi revizuit și îmbunătățit, iar costurile pentru cetățenie britanică ar putea fi reduse pentru tinerii care au trăit în UK cea mai mare parte a vieții.
  • Tinerii care au crescut în UK fără statut legal vor fi sprijiniți să obțină drept de ședere permanent, cu ajutor suplimentar pentru cei din sistemul de protecție a copilului.

Folosiți serviciile Immigration Adviser Finder și Adviser Register dacă vreți să găsiți un specialist în imigrație acreditat


Cele două instrumente puse la dispoziție de Immigration Advice Authority: de căutare a unui immigration adviser ( Adviser Finder) și de verificare a unui adviser (Adviser Register) sunt acum din nou disponibile.

Adviser Finder aici puteți găsi consilieri de imigrație acreditați în zona care vă interesează.

Adviser Register aici puteți să verificați dacă o persoană sau o organizație este înregistrată oficial la Immigration Advice Authority.

Cei care au nevoie de sfaturi și consiliere pentru imigrație ar trebui să folosească aceste 2 servicii ca să nu-și ia țeapă de la persoane care pretind că sunt acreditate, care prestează ilegal servicii de imigrație sau de la simpli țepari de acte care se oferă să vă “rezolve” ei.

Toți consilierii în domeniul imigrației trebuie să fie înregistrați la IAA sau să fie membri ai unui organism profesional aprobat. Dacă numele lor sau organizațiile/firmele cu care pretind ca se ocupă de “acte” nu sunt de găsit in listă, înseamnă că nu există. Și nu uitați că niciun consultant acreditat pe imigrație la IAA nu se ocupă să facă acte. Dovezi nici atât.

Dacă întâmpinați probleme în folosirea serviciilor, contactați Customer Service Unit la info@immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk.

Despre ce anume trebuie să cereți și ce anume trebuie să aveți de la un immigration adviser, am scris aici -> Ce trebuie să primești când îți iei un immigration adviser

Revizuirea Immigration Salary List

Pe 4 decembrie 2023, Home Secretary a anunțat mai multe modificări ale sistemului de imigrație, legate de ruta Skilled Worker (SW)

Anunțul guvernului – care urmează să fie implementat începând cu aprilie 2024 – include:

  • Shortage Occupation List (SOL) va fi înlocuită cu Immigration Salary List (ISL);
  • Eliminarea reducerii de 20% din ‘going rate’, care anterior era un beneficiu al includerii unei ocupații pe SOL;
  • Ruta SW (cu excepția vizei Health & Care worker (H&CW)):
    • Pragul general a fost majorat de la £26,200 la £38,700. Aceasta reprezintă o creștere de la 25% la 50% (mediana) a ocupațiilor eligibile pentru ruta SW, împreună cu o actualizare a celor mai recente date salariale nominale (Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings – ASHE);
    • Creșterea pragurilor specifice ocupației de la 25% la 50% (mediana) a salariului cu normă întreagă pentru ocupațiile non-H&CW sau la scara națională de salarizare, acolo unde este aplicabil; și,
    • Pentru ocupațiile de pe ISL, un prag de fie £30,960 sau pragul specific ocupației respective, oricare este mai mare.

Viza Heath&Care Workers:

  • O excepție care are scopul de a “continua să aducă lucrătorii din domeniul sănătății de care sectorul de îngrijire și NHS-ul au nevoie”;
  • Pragul general de £29,000 în loc de £38,700.

The following occupations are not recommended for the ISL as we did not find the evidence submitted to our 2023 SOL review convincing regarding the need for ISL inclusion and we also highlighted a risk of migrant exploitation:

Lista agențiilor acreditate care pot sponsoriza muncitori pentru agricultură în UK

Dacă doriți să veniți în UK ca munciți sezonier în agricultură, legal cu viză, trebuie să aplicați pentru muncă sezonieră prin una din agențiile acreditate pentru această schemă :

AGRI-HR: https://www.agri-hr.com/
Concordia: https://www.concordia.org.uk/seasonal-work
Fruitful Jobs: https://www.fruitfuljobs.com/seasonal-worker-scheme
HOPS Labour Solutions: https://www.hopslaboursolutions.com/sws-scheme-for-workers
Pro-Force: https://www.pro-force.co.uk/

Dacă aplicația dvs. este aprobată, vi se va emite un certificat de sponsorizare – Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). După ce ați primit CoS, puteți aplica pentru o viză pentru a veni în UK ca lucrător sezonier.

Sponsorul dvs. vă poate ajuta să aplicați pentru viză, însă orice sfat sau consiliere trebuie să fie gratis și nu ar trebui să plătiți pentru niciun ajutor sau serviciu primit.

Atenție la agențiile false sau la persoanele care vă promit locuri de muncă la ferme și vă percep bani pentru taxe, pentru aplicare sau pentru a vă aranja certificate de sponsorizare sau alte feluri de acte. Sponsorizarea autentică este disponibilă doar prin unul dintre operatorii acreditați, cei din listă. Dacă aveți îndoieli, contactați direct operatorul pentru a confirma că oferta de muncă este reală.
