Stamer said that the UK will extend the minimum residency requirement for permanent residency applications.

British Prime Minister Stamer announced on the morning of the 12th at Downing Street that the minimum residency requirement for applying for permanent residency in the UK will be extended from 5 years to 10 years. Stamer said in his speech that in 2023, the net immigration to the UK will be close to one million, equivalent to the total population of the second largest city in the UK, Birmingham. He stated that the Labour government will truly fulfill the promise of "taking back control of borders," "autonomously deciding who can come to the UK, and ensuring that immigration policy serves the national interest."
