This review was commissioned by the Home Secretary in July 2025. It considers:

• what should the general salary threshold be for the Skilled Worker route?
• should there continue to be different salary thresholds for Health and Care Worker visas and the Global Business Mobility and Scale-up routes and, if so, what should these be?
• what, if any, discounts should apply to salary requirements?
• should there be any changes to the current approach to occupational going rates?
• how frequently should salary requirements be updated?
