Foreign staff have ‘changed our lives’: Scottish farmers fear for future
after changes to skilled
worker visas |
Scottish farmers fear for the future following the removal in July of
agricultural jobs from the
skilled worker visa list. This government measure now requires degree-level
qualifications, making it difficult to
hire foreign labor (mainly from the Philippines). The farmers will present their case to
the Migration Advisory
Committee to reverse the rule. |

Anti-immigration politics, the far-right AfD's rise, and economic
stagnation are fueling racism in

How will the EU’s new entry-exit border system work? |
The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES), effective since October 12, aims
to improve security and
reduce identity fraud and irregular overstays. For asylum seekers, it initially doesn't
apply (they use Eurodac),
but future use could complicate entry. The EES will be followed by a visa waiver system,
ETIAS, with a 20 euro fee.
