On 4 December 2023, the Home Secretary announced several changes to the immigration system related to the Skilled Worker route. Amongst these changes, it was announced that, from April 2024, the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) would be replaced with the Immigration Salary List (ISL).

The Immigration Salary List is a list of occupations where a reduced general salary threshold applies to applications on the Skilled Worker route. In other words, if your job is on the Immigration Salary List, you (or your employee) can qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa by being paid less than the standard general salary requirement applicable to the Skilled Worker route. This should make it easier for employers to recruit for ISL roles and open up opportunities for skilled workers to work in the UK in ISL occupations.
