The points-based system has encouraged highly skilled people and high growth businesses to choose to locate and invest in the UK, alongside ensuring that employers are drawing on and upskilling the domestic UK workforce.

The Home Office keeps all immigration routes introduced under the points-based immigration system under review and regularly makes changes to the immigration rules accordingly.
