This Asian capital is Partners of British citizens Victims of domestic abuse EU nationals under the Settlement Scheme, who are covered by the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement The UK government will begin enforcing the first phase of immigration reforms from July 22, 2025, as part of its wider policy agenda outlined in the immigration white paper titled 'Restoring control over the immigration system'. The measures, aimed at reducing net migration, include a narrower list of sponsor-eligible jobs and a ban on overseas hiring in the care white paper, published on May 12, signals the government's intent to make it more difficult to move to and settle in the UK. Though a white paper does not itself change immigration law, several of its proposals are already being actioned through changes to immigration tomorrow, the Home Office will implement two key reforms:These changes form part of a wider policy drive to prioritise domestic labour and reshape immigration proposals in the white paper include:A key feature of the white paper is the proposal to extend the qualifying period for permanent residence—known as Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), from five years to ten. This policy is still under consultation and will not come into force white paper also proposes an 'earned settlement' route, which would allow some migrants to qualify earlier if they demonstrate sufficient contribution to the UK economy and society under the points-based system. However, the criteria for this route have yet to be defined.'We will set out further details of the earned settlement and citizenship reforms later this year, and we will consult on them. There will be plenty of opportunity for people to comment on and consider the detail,' Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told groups are expected to be exempt from the longer settlement timeline:The government has not clarified whether other routes currently offering a five-year path to ILR—such as the Hong Kong BN(O) visa, will be included. When questioned in Parliament, the Minister for Migration and Citizenship said, 'We will be consulting on the earned settlement scheme later this year and will provide details of how the scheme will work after that, including which immigration routes it will apply to.'Whether the ten-year settlement rule will apply to migrants already on existing routes remains undecided. A technical annex to the white paper suggests it might, 'A number of those currently in the UK are likely to leave due [to] it taking longer to gain settled status.'Parliamentary responses have so far deferred specifics, saying the issue will be addressed during the consultation phase. Nonetheless, media reports indicate that transitional measures may be considered for those nearing eligibility under current of the changes, including adjustments to the visa sponsorship list and English requirements, can be made through statements of changes to immigration rules. These do not require a parliamentary vote and come into effect automatically unless disapproved by motion within 40 days, a rare a few proposals, such as the levy on student fees or changes to naturalisation law, will require an Act of the first round of changes beginning July 22, the UK's immigration framework is entering a new phase. While many of the most impactful changes, such as the settlement timeline are still pending consultation, the direction of policy is clear: tighter eligibility, increased compliance, and a greater focus on economic contribution.

With Asia Cup uncertain, PCBs revenue could take massive hit
Agency: PTI Karachi, Jul 21 (PTI) With the future of this year's Asia Cup T20 tournament mired in uncertainty, the Pakistan Cricket Board is bracing for a severe hit to its revenue. The Pakistan Cricket Board is expecting to earn an estimated 8.8 billion rupees this year from its share of the revenue from the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). According to details coming from a reliable Board source, the PCB has outlined an amount of USD 25.9 million (approximately 7.7 billion rupees) during this fiscal year as its share from the ICC. The Board is hoping to earn another 1.16 billion rupees from the Asia Cup and 7.77 million rupees through other international cricket events. 'The revenues from these two major sources (ICC and Asia Cup) is very important for the financial health of Pakistan cricket," one well-informed insider said. He said the uncertainty over the schedule and venue for the Asia Cup has increased as PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi did not travel to Singapore for the ICC meetings last weekend. Naqvi, who is also the federal interior minister, instead took part in the AGM virtually. According to the insider, PCB CEO Sumair Ahmed, who had gone for the ICC meeting, 'didn't get positive responses" from either the BCCI or the boards of Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan over attending the ACC meeting called on July 24 in Dhaka to finalise the Asia Cup arrangements. 'The PCB met with plenty of resistance to the ACC scheduling the meeting in Dhaka. India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Oman and few other associate member boards were adamant about not travelling to Dhaka," one insider added. He said the discussions on the sidelines of the ICC meeting don't augur well for the Asia Cup being held on schedule in September as the BCCI is not willing to send its representative to Dhaka. The ACC is currently headed by Naqvi. Originally India was scheduled to host the Asia Cup in September but due to the existing stand-off with Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack, the chances of the regional event being moved to UAE are high. Sumair was also sent to Dubai earlier this year to attend the Champions Trophy final ceremony but due to some 'miscommunication", he was not a part of the officials who were on stage for the presentations. Interestingly in the expected revenue given in the budget for the fiscal year, the PCB has included 2.5 billion rupees as the estimated revenue from the next edition of the Pakistan Super League. The PCB's total budget for the fiscal year is around 18.8 billion rupees.
