Extension of employment restrictions for Bulgarian and Romanian nationals

The UKBA (United Kingdom Border Agency) have extended the controls to restrict how Bulgarian and Romanian nationals access the UK labour market.

These restrictions will be in place now until the end of 2013.

Reasons why these restrictions have been extended include:

  • to support the government's commitment to reduce employers' dependence on migrant workers, particularly for lower skilled jobs
     
  • to try and help the unemployed to find their way back into work and help the domestic workforce to acquire the skills the economy needs
The extension of the restrictions does not affect Romanians and Bulgarians who have already been authorised to work in the UK.
