Immigration White Paper: Settlement Period to Rise from 5 to 10 Years (Proposed)

2025年5月发布的移民白皮书提出，将定居（无限期居留权）的标准资格期限由5年延长至10年，同时缩短毕业生签证路线并提高英语要求。该内容为提案，尚未成为正式法律。

The May 2025 immigration white paper proposed raising the standard qualifying period for settlement (indefinite leave to remain) from five to ten years, alongside the reduced Graduate Route and higher English requirements. This is a proposal, not yet enacted law.
