🚨 IMPORTANT AWARENESS: English Language Requirement Will Increase from B1 to B2

The UK Home Office Statement of Changes published on 5 March 2026 confirms that the English language requirement for migrants applying for settlement in the UK will increase.

📌 Current Rule
Applicants who apply before 26 March 2027 only need to pass an approved English test at B1 level (speaking and listening).

📌 New Rule
From 26 March 2027, migrants applying for settlement will need to pass a B2 level English test, which is a higher standard.

⚠️ Why this is important

Moving from B1 to B2 means stronger English skills will be required. It can take many months of study to reach B2 level.

📢 Advice for migrants

If you are eligible to apply for settlement before 26 March 2027, you should try to:

✔️ Pass your B1 English test as soon as possible
✔️ Apply before the new B2 requirement comes into effect
