    you can have the most unimaginable conditions coming through, dire health and employment situations, you know like what you get during a pandemic, but if the house prices are supposed to correct even a slightly that is preposterous

    'I won't be able to stay if I make less than £30,000 per year'


    There is no employment or income requirement to apply for pre-Settled Status or Settled Status.

    In fact, you will not have been asked to declare your income or confirm you were in employment when you applied to the EU Settlement Scheme. The application only considered whether you were resident in the UK, the length of your residence in the UK, and checks if you have criminal convictions. Therefore, you should have applied even if you were unemployed, in receipt of benefits, or were in low paid employment.

    There are employment and income requirements for EU citizens who want to come and work in the UK for the first time from 01 January 2021, but this does not affect anyone who is eligible for a status under the EU Settlement Scheme or eligible joining family members. You can read more about the new immigration system on the Hub.

    LONDON —

    More than 6 million European Union citizens in the U.K. applied to maintain their residency before the end-of-Wednesday deadline that the British government imposed as part of the country’s departure from the bloc, officials said Friday.

    Britain’s Home Office said that of the 6.02 million people who had applied, 400,000 applications were made in the final month before the end of the EU Settlement Scheme.

    The pound was hardly strong in 2011.

    The heyday for migrant workers was the early 2000s. Between 2000 and 2007 (prior to the GFC), the pound never fell below 1.40 and was quite often above 1.50, even briefly topping 1.70. After the GFC it settled well below 1.20.

    By 2015, it had recovered most of the lost ground and was back up around 1.40.

    The Brexit vote saw it immediately fall back to post-GFC levels well below 1.20 again.

    In which case, many will probably vote with their feet and go elsewhere.

    Ever since the Brexit vote, I've heard it's got harder to recruit EU migrants to work over here. A combination of feeling like they wouldn't be welcome and the weaker pound.

    From what I understand the new workers are being exploited because they're tied to the employer and they have no opportunity to move. The previous EU migrants used to return every year and were quite happy with the working conditions.

    So looks like the new immigration rules have created a situation of even lower wages and more exploitation.

    who could have thought of that? the boys have been putting a good fight for them, they did not vote out of pure ignorance and xenophobia.
