Skilled worker dependent visa for wife and son

Post by lon2024 » Mon Feb 12, 2024 7:21 pm

My friend is a web developer and going to apply for a Skilled Worker visa from outside the UK.
He got an offer from xyz company and the offer is valid until 01/05/2024.
He wants to bring his wife and 4-year-old son as a dependent. I believe the government is going to make some changes in the coming April for a dependent visa.
my question is, Are they going to fully stop all dependent visas or only some specific jobs?
I searched on the website and can't see any details but i found only this "From 11 March 2024, care workers (SOC 6145) and senior care workers (SOC 6146) will be unable to bring dependents when they migrate to the UK"

No. It is the salary threshold that is changing and those on certain SOCs in the Health and Care Sector.
