Closed Health & Care visa workers to freely change sponsors/employers after 2 years

Closed on

Pass legislation to allow visa holders/employees the unrestricted ability to switch employment/sponsors to another registered sponsor license holder in the same sector and occupation code after 2 years of working for their original employer, without the need for a new visa or fee.

The Home Office would still need to be updated of all changes.

At the moment, Health and Care visa holders are tied to their employer. They can move to a different employer but the process is burdensome. The change proposed in this petition could ultimately have a positive impact on growing labour market shortages.
