The UK and India signed a non-binding agreement on migration last week. The basic ingredients are cooperation on removing unauthorised migrants in exchange for a minor liberalisation on youth mobility-type visas. This will allow Indian nationals aged between 18 and 30 to live and work in the UK for up to two years, and vice versa. There will be a quota, initially 3,000 places a year. The scheme is therefore similar to the existing Youth Mobility Scheme in place for a small number of developed countries. All those Indian nationals without legal documents should contact their legal advisers to regularise their stay.
