New immigration rules could hurt Indian doctors in the UK

---

Comes into effect from April 1st 2008

Feburary 29, 2008

As per the new Immigration rules, from March, doctors living outside the European Union will not be eligible to apply for jobs through the High Skilled Migrant Program (HSMP).

From April 1, skilled Indian doctors - so-called Tier 1 migrants - will no longer be able to apply for higher medical training jobs under the new points-based immigration system. However, those Indian doctors who are already in Britain under the HSMP scheme would be able to apply for training and jobs and will be treated at par with British and European applicants.

However, the new rules could disadvantage India-born doctors who are already in Britain on work permits rather than on HSMP visas. If they convert to HSMP visas after Feb 29, they will not be considered at par with British and European doctors.
