Fintech TransferGo has warned that while technology talent may come through the UK’s tough new anti-immigration laws will hurt business.
Daumantas Dvilinskas, CEO of TransferGo, said that whilst technically the new immigration rules might allow technology talent through, there are wider implications that the country needs to have a think about.
He said that the UK was asking the world’s best and brightest to prove their worth by arbitrary standards of the value set by the British Government, based on language skills, academic performance and income. In doing so, we are implicitly saying that people who don’t meet those criteria don’t have value to Britain.
