    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    All applicants need to get the initial 50 points from having a job offer above a minimum skill level and speaking English.

    The standard fee for a skilled visa is usually between £719 and £1,500 and applicants also have to pay a £624 healthcare surcharge for each year of their stay.

    These jobs have a lower salary threshold, making it easier for applicants to gain the required number of points to get a visa.

    Official immigration data gathering was disrupted during the Covid-19 pandemic and there have been considerable changes to the way the figures are collected.

    Students on postgraduate courses could also apply for visas for qualifying dependents: a husband, wife, civil or unmarried partner and any children under 18 years old.

    But from January 2024, the government will remove the right for international students to bring dependents unless they are on postgraduate courses designated as research programmes.
