A research manager moved from Brazil to the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage (ILR )’s indefinite permission plan to remove a future in this country will make it impossible to plan a future, he said.
Brenner Seixas, who works in London, pays a voluntary tax on a average salary for a housing association cooperative in Lewisham. It also runs a Brazilian film festival next month.
Although he lived in the UK for four years, the 34 -year -old, who was preparing to apply for ILR status in March, said reform that Britain felt insecure about the future of Britain’s radical policy for immigrants.
At a press conference on Monday morning, Farage announced that his party, which was officially in front of labor, will eliminate ILR in front of labor and forced non -EU immigrants to renew their visas every five years.
In accordance with the pressure of Mr. Farage that he would save £ 234 billion through welfare and housing, applicants would have to meet certain criteria, including a higher salary threshold and a better English standard. Those with citizenship status of the UK are not affected.

He said Independent: “Do not change the rules on paper for the right to reserve ILR and to resort to people like me, not just change the rules on paper – it doesn’t matter how much I invest in this country, they make me feel like a guest to leave at any time.”
Mr. Seixas first came to England in 2019 at the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, and after 75,000 applicants for his master’s degree in Sociology, he first came to England from his hometown Belo Horizonte.
After graduation, he returned to Brazil and found a job with the London -based employer (LLR) status (LLR) before returning to England after Covid Pandemi in 2021. Four years later within the scope of LLR, he can apply to ILR next year.

I read here, I found a job and followed every rule – the idea or visa that ILR could be canceled [will have to be] It is renewed infinitely, traveling, having housing security, building a family or looking at relatives, making it impossible to plan normal things.
“My employer is connected to international capabilities to present projects, but punishing companies from abroad only creates confusion, productivity and higher costs.”
“To be disposable to us weakens the social harmony and sends a message that we do not belong to. We are neighbors, colleagues and family. I am not a stranger; I am a part of the daily story of England.”
According to the National Statistics Office figures, Mr. Farage’s plan is coming despite the fall of last year’s half. About 431,000 immigrants arrived in 2024 compared to 860,000 a year ago.
86 percent of these immigrants came from England to England and the highest number came from India and packed followed by Pakistan.
