Jin10 data reported on September 22, according to the Financial Times, UK Prime Minister Starmer plans to waive visa fees for some top global talent. The “Global Talent Working Group” established by the Prime Minister is developing a plan aimed at attracting the world's best scientists, scholars, and digital experts to the UK to stimulate economic rise. According to informed sources, one consideration is to waive visa fees for top professionals. “Graduates from the top five universities globally or individuals who have received authoritative awards are potential candidates,” an official said. “We are exploring the possibility of reducing costs to zero.” On the other hand, the United States has just announced an increase in application fees for the H-1B visa, which American tech companies heavily rely on, to $100,000. A British individual stated that this decision has actually propelled the reform of the UK's high-end visa system, with reform advocates hoping to promote economic rise through this initiative before the budget proposal is released on November 26.
