(asked on 24th January 2017) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 14 December 2016 to Question 56319, whether foreign born GPs will be given priority for UK working visas.
This question was answered on 27th January 2017
Employers wishing to sponsor non-EEA General Practitioners must do so under the Tier 2 (General) category, which is subject to an annual limit of 20,700 places. Occupations that are currently on the Shortage Occupation List are prioritised within the limit.
The arrangements which will apply to EU nationals in the UK for the purpose of work post-Brexit have yet to be determined.
