UK migration after Brexit: 2025 ONS experimental estimates, 2026-2028 outlook, and legal impacts of new visa restrictions on care workers, work, students and refugee family reunion
UK net migration Drawing on ONS statistics, the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford has released an overview of UK net migration, tracing patterns from the early 2000s and developments under the post‑Brexit immigration regime. Net migration in 2025 stood at 171,000-far beneath typical 2010s levels and markedly lower than the record 944,000 in the year to March 2023. Non‑EU inflows declined to 627,000 in 2025, around one‑fifth down on 2024. Among these arrivals, 67% were admitted for employment or study. Close to seven in ten came to study at universities (44%), take up jobs (11%), or accompany work migrants as partners or children (12%); asylum seekers made up 14%. Indian citizens formed the largest cohort at 17% of all immigration, with Pakistani and Chinese nationals each contributing 7%. By June 2024, 19% of the UK population was born abroad-on a par with Spain and...
International Sportsperson—overview
The International Sportsperson
The International Sportsperson route is for athletes and coaches aged 16 or over who:
- are elite and internationally recognised at the highest level, and
- will be employed in a role that makes a significant contribution to the development of their sport in the UK
Introduced on 11 October 2021 via the Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules HC 617, this route replaced T2 Sportsperson and the sporting strand of T5 (Temporary Worker) Creative or Sporting Worker.
Between 1 December 2020 and 10 October 2021, these two routes were revamped as simplified pathways for the post-Brexit immigration system; prior to that they were known as Tier 2 (Sportsperson) and Tier 5 (Creative and Sporting).
The single International Sportsperson route now offers both short-term and long-term options. Applicants must have an employer registered as a sponsor under the International Sportsperson route. Sponsors must be a sports club or equivalent, with a legitimate...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
