FM Launches Scottish Visa Plan, Edinburgh, 27 January 2020

Scottish Visa Plan, 27 January 2020

The First Minister was in Edinburgh today to unveil immigration policy proposals for a new Scottish Visa aimed at addressing depopulation and cutting skills gaps.

All of Scotland's population growth for the next 25 years is projected to come from migration, in contrast to the rest of the UK.

New UK Government immigration controls and the end of free movement after Brexit is expected to exacerbate the risk of skills gaps and labour shortages in Scotland.
