UK Raises Family Visa Income Threshold Amid Immigration Crackdown. The UK has upped the minimum income required to sponsor family visas, aiming to slash immigration levels. The benchmark surged from £18,600 to £29,000, with a further hike to £38,700 expected next year. The move aligns with PM Rishi Sunak's bid to curb migration, citing taxpayer concerns. Interior Minister James Cleverly emphasized safeguarding jobs and wages. The change aims to ensure self-sufficiency for families reuniting in the UK, permitting various income sources to meet the threshold.
