UK Proposes 10-Year Stay for Migrants
UK aims to prioritize contribution and integration for settlement.
Low-paid workers face 15-year baseline, benefit claimants 20 years, illegal arrivals 30 years.
Benefits and housing require citizenship if approved.
NHS staff qualify after 5 years, high earners/entrepreneurs after 3 years.
Existing settled status holders (EU, Windrush) remain unaffected.
