U.K. tightens norms

LONDON: Britain on Tuesday announced tougher immigration criteria for skilled professionals from India and other non-EU countries seeking jobs. It has barred entry to low-skilled foreigners.

Would-be migrants will need a job offer before they even apply for a visa.

Employers will also need a licence from the UK Border Agency to offer jobs to skilled workers.
