The UK is considering imposing stricter regulations on permanent residency

The UK is considering tightening its permanent residence regulations for immigrants, requiring applicants to demonstrate their social value.

Reuters reported that British Home Secretary Mahmoud will make this announcement at the Labour Party conference on Monday (September 29).

This is the latest effort by the British government to weaken the growing support rate of the UK Reform Party. The right-wing populist party, which has been leading the debate on immigration issues in the polls, has been forcing the Labour government led by Prime Minister Stammer to tighten immigration policies.

At present, most immigrants can apply for an indefinite stay permit after residing in the UK for five years. This status grants immigrants the right to permanently reside in the UK.

This will be Mahmoud's first speech at the Labour Party congress in his capacity as Home Secretary. According to the pre-released excerpt of Mahmoud's speech by the Labour Party, she will tell the conference that the government is considering making changes to stipulate that only those who have paid Social Security, have no criminal record and have not applied for benefits are eligible for permanent residency.

According to the excerpt, Mahmoud will also mention that the government is considering only allowing immigrants with a high level of English proficiency and a record of volunteer service in the community to become permanent residents. Consultation on these proposals will be launched later this year.

Last week, the leader of the UK Reform Party, Farage, said that the party was considering proposing to abolish the indefinite residence permit and replace it with a five-year work visa that could be renewed.

On Sunday (28th), Stamer accused the British Reform Party of planning a "racist policy" of large-scale deportations, which would "tear the country apart".
