Under new plans announced by the Conservatives, foreign workers will need to live in the UK for a decade and meet strict criteria to gain indefinite leave to remain. Kemi Badenoch, the party leader, advocates for these changes as part of a broader effort to address immigration concerns. The proposals will also impact refugees negatively, as they will find it even more challenging to settle in the UK. Current laws allow an indefinite leave application after five years, which would be extended, limiting access to benefits until then.
Kemi Badenoch highlighted that our country is not a dormitory, emphasizing that citizenship should be reserved for those demonstrating a real commitment to the UK.
The Conservative plans aim to double the time for applying for indefinite leave to remain, reflecting the party's commitment to a stricter immigration policy.
Badenoch pointed out that the pace of immigration has been too quick, suggesting that slowing down the track for citizenship will lead to better integration.
Under current rules, individuals can apply for indefinite leave to remain after five years, but the Tories propose extending this period to ten years.
