Wind workers immigration exemption to end

30 Aug 2022 / United Kingdom

The immigration exemption that allows the employment of foreign nationals joining vessels engaged in the construction of maintenance of offshore wind projects in UK territorial waters will no longer be granted beyond 31 October 2022.

This is the final extension for this concession, and it will not be renewed beyond this date.

All foreign nationals coming to the UK to work in UK waters, including on a wind farm, will need permission to work in the UK before starting work.
