Health & Care visa workers to freely change sponsors/employers after 2 years
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.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
