New Skilled Visa Routes Will Help Position UK As A Leading Tech And FinTech Market, Says EY

Seema Farazi, UK & Financial Services Immigration Leader at EY, comments on the Chancellor’s announcement of a new FinTech visa: “The UK Government has today taken a decisive and affirmative step forward to position the UK as a leading hub for tech and FinTech by launching a new scale-up visa route. Supporting the growth of UK tech and FinTech is fundamental for the sectors’ global success and will also aid the UK’s economic recovery as we look to counter unemployment and increase skills in growth areas.

It is crucial the UK leads the way in attracting skills from all over the world as well as creating homegrown talent.
