Make time spent on other work visa categories to count towards ILR in 5 years
There are multiple work visa routes allowing workers to come in the UK. Few of these routes do not offer settlement after 5 years e.g. ICT visa holders, even if workers pay appropriate taxes. Government should treat all foreign workers equally and offer similar settlement options
Foreign workers are generally not aware of various visa routes. They enter the UK based on opportunity offered by employer, subject to available sponsor license/CoS
These workers contribute to economy similar to those in skilled worker route. Current policies on some routes e.g. ICT do not allow time spent in the UK to be counted for ILR in 5 years
Government should review current policies on ILR after 5 years for all work visa routes and set an example of fair treatment to all foreign workers
