The United Kingdom announced on Thursday that the minimum income threshold required to sponsor a family member's visa in the country has been increased, as part of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's plans to cut down immigration levels. Effective immediately, the income benchmark has been increased from 18,600 pounds to 29,000 pounds - an increase of more than 55 per cent - with a subsequent increase to 38,700 pounds slated for early next year.
