Lower minimum salary threshold for veterinary surgeons on skilled visa

Petition Details

I want the Government to lower the minimum salary threshold for veterinarians who work under the skilled worker visa. The minimum salary threshold for veterinarians was raised to £48,500 in July 2025. It is a very high amount for the vets who want to grow in their career in the UK.

Additional Information

Due to the salary threshold change, many people may not be able to start a job as a small animal veterinarian in the UK. I think this is unfair and I want the Government to change the threshold back.
