EU, non-EU nationals to face similar post-Brexit immigration rules: Theresa May

British Prime Minister Theresa May today gave the first major indication that immigration rules for non-EU citizens such as Indians are set to be closely aligned with those for European Union nationals once Britain has left the economic bloc by next year. <br />''<br />''<br />''The UK is at present bound by the EU's freedom of movement rules, which offers nationals from the 27 EU member-countries an automatic right to work and settle in Britain. <br />''<br />''<br />''On the other hand, non-EU countries like India are subject to a strict visa regime and quotas under specific categories. <br />''<br />''<br />''In an interview, the Prime Minister said that the vote in favour of Brexit in the June 2016 referendum was a vote to end this dual system of migration.<br />''<br />''<br />''The government is set to publish its detailed immigration proposals in the coming months, which is widely expected to be a general toughening of stance on controlling the numbers that come into the country in line with the Conservative party's target to reduce migration.<br />''<span style="color: #222222;">   </span><br />
