“欧洲最严格”的移民政策！英国启动50年来最大移民制度改革

Core Viewpoint - The UK has initiated its largest immigration reform in 50 years, introducing stringent waiting periods for permanent residency, which could take up to 30 years for illegal immigrants and those reliant on social welfare [1][3]. Group 1: Immigration Policy Changes - The reform affects nearly 2 million immigrants who arrived in the UK since 2021, but does not impact those who have already obtained permanent residency [3]. - Low-wage workers will face a 15-year waiting period for permanent residency, while those dependent on government welfare will wait 20 years, marking a fourfold increase from previous policies [3]. - Illegal immigrants and those overstaying their visas may wait up to 30 years for residency, establishing the longest waiting period in Europe [3]. Group 2: Asylum Seekers and Financial Implications - The UK government will implement deportations for families whose asylum applications are unsuccessful, offering financial incentives for voluntary return to their home countries [5]. - If families refuse to return voluntarily, the government will initiate forced deportation procedures [5]. - Over the past four years, 400,000 individuals have applied for asylum in the UK, with more than 100,000 currently residing in asylum accommodation, leading to significant financial burdens on the UK government [5].
