Home Office unaware if foreign workers leave after visas end, MPs say
The Home Office is unaware if foreign workers leave the UK after their visas expire, according to MPs. A committee of MPs criticized the Home Office for not analyzing exit checks since the skilled worker visa route was introduced in 2020. Over 1.18 million people have applied for this visa route to the UK, prompting concerns about illegal work. The Home Office stated it is improving border security and digital checks, but concerns remain about tracking foreign workers after their visas end.
