pellinore Posted May 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) The Daily Express has been left scratching its head after it was announced foreign fishermen are to be invited to man boats in the UK as the country attempts to battle a major skills shortage. Both trawler skippers and experienced boat hands on large vessels have been placed on the Short Occupation List, which will give access to overseas staff who can come to the UK on a salary of £20,960 instead of £26,200. Applicants for a visa for these jobs will also pay a lower fee for a 3-year visa, with the price being slashed from £625 to £479.
