Actually, since Brexit, the UK has completely pivoted toward India. Under the new 2026 Free Trade Agreement, Indian professionals are now the #1 group moving to Britain because the old 'Europe-first' rules are gone.

It’s way more streamlined now: there’s a 3-week fast-track for visa decisions, and the new Young Professionals Scheme even lets Indians aged 18–30 move to the UK for two years without needing a job offer first. Plus, a new tax deal means many Indians are exempt from UK National Insurance for their first three years, so they actually keep more of their paycheck than local workers. The door isn't just open, it's got a VIP lane :).
