The United Kingdom government has announced a ban on more than 100 occupations from recruiting workers outside the UK.
The UK government said the move was part of efforts to cut net migration.
The UK Home Office announced this in a statement shared on X on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
It stated: “Cutting net migration means getting the fundamentals right.
“More than 100 occupations are no longer eligible for overseas recruitment – opening up more jobs for British workers.
“A fairer, skills-focused system is now taking shape.”
The Home Office has yet to publish the full list of restricted occupations at the time of filing this report.
