Summary
Britain will refund visa application fees paid by fast-growing companies that recruit workers from abroad, under a new government measure aimed at easing hiring costs.
Fees covered by the scheme range from £819 to £1,865 per employee, according to a Department for Business and Trade statement issued Tuesday.
Scale-up businesses in digital and tech, life sciences, and clean energy will qualify for the reimbursements.
The policy is designed to make the UK a more attractive base for technology-focused firms competing for international talent.
