Question Asked
Asked by:
Fleur Anderson (Labour)
Answer
The Minimum Income Requirement is set at the level which prevents burdens on the taxpayer and promotes integration and we remain aligned with those aims whilst making adjustments to support those affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Such adjustments are among a range of measures put in place by the Home Office to support those affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. These are set out for customers on GOV.UK and are available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-for-uk-visa-applicants-and-temporary-uk-residents
We have no plans to suspend the Minimum Income Requirement.
