With Keir Starmer's Labour Party taking over from Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives, Indian students in the UK can expect relief from recent restrictive immigration policies. Sunak’s government had tightened rules, including halting dependent visas for students and increasing visa fees, aimed at reducing immigration. The Conservative measures also included a controversial plan to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda and reassess the post-study work visa, causing anxiety among international students. Starmer’s administration may reverse some of these policies, potentially making the UK more welcoming for Indian students and their dependents.
