Vanessa Ganguin Immigration Law at London Tech Week 2024

10 June 2024

Vanessa Ganguin Immigration Law will be at Stand 260 at London Tech Week 2024 at Olympia exhibition centre in Kensington from Monday 10 to Wednesday 12 June, 2024.

We will be talking to attendees from all over the world and tech firms across different sectors such as robotics, AI, engineering and fintech about immigration solutions for UK tech firms, innovators, start-ups, companies moving into the UK,  tech talent, innovators and founders too.

The firm’s friendly immigration experts have a wealth of experience when it comes to UK immigration routes such as the Global Talent visa, Skilled Worker and Scale Up sponsor licences, the Expansion Worker immigration route as well as the new Innovator Founder visa.

Vanessa Ganguin Immigration Law is now part of the Partners Immigration Network of trusted immigration specialists around the world, so we can put you in touch with the immigration and global mobility specialists you need to expand into other territories around the world.

From single country services to flexible international solutions, Partners Immigration Network bring comprehensive local knowledge and experience to firms’ immigration and mobility programs to make working in new countries around the world as smooth as possible.

Vanessa Ganguin Immigration Law are now part of techUK who will also have a stall at London Tech Week 2024. The firm advises on how recent UK immigration developments will affect technology sectors, as well as the likely immigration consequences of the UK’s general election in July.

The UK Government recently implemented a package of legislation to reduce immigration to the UK which is likely to hit many firms employing non-resident tech talent to fill skills gaps. These changes will have a significant effect on salaries those sponsoring staff on a Skilled Worker visa will have to pay.

For example, there is a current shortage of programmers and software developers in the UK. Before these changes they could be sponsored on Skilled Worker visas so long as they were paid a minimum of £27,200. From 4 April 2024, with higher wage thresholds and no more Shortage Occupation List, new programmers applying for the Skilled Worker visa would have to be paid a new going rate in the region of £49,400 or over. (You can find more details here.)

There are other work immigration routes we can advise on, some of which may mitigate these recent changes. You can find more details here, or in this article that Vanessa Ganguin wrote for HR Magazine. Vanessa and Ben Maitland will be happy to discuss these UK immigration options further at our stall (260) at London Tech Week or you can book a future appointment for a chat here. We will be following developments as the main political parties publish their election manifestos this week and poring over what they promise for immigration policies. There will likely be more changes towards the end of this year and into 2025.
