Blue Card is a residence permit for highly skilled workers from outside the European Union (EU) who wish to work in the United Kingdom (UK). It is a points-based system, and applicants must score a minimum of 70 points to be eligible. Points are awarded for factors such as age, qualifications, and work experience.
The Blue Card offers several benefits to holders, including the right to live and work in the UK for up to five years, the right to bring family members to the UK, and the right to apply for permanent residency after five years of continuous residence. The Blue Card also allows holders to travel freely within the UK and the EU.
