2020年5月14日，英国政府发布了针对移民法的修正案，今天我们就为大家带来此次修正案里非常关键的修改内容-首席代表签证，这也是目前英国移民签证变化较大的类别。
在与移民法修正案同时推送的Explanatory memorandum: CP 232（修正案的说明）文件中，对于此次首席代表签证的移民法修改做了一个归纳，主要改变的分为7个部分，我们逐条来看：
1. An amendment is being made to prevent an overseas business sending a representative to facilitate their entry to the UK when there is no genuine intention for them to establish a branch or subsidiary in the UK
这里强调了申请海外首席代表签证的申请人所在母公司必须有真实来英国设立子公司或者分公司的意图，对此移民局未来可能增加类似于英国企业家签证的面试环节来考察申请人过来设立子公司的真实性，因此那些打算走个过场，刷刷营业额和雇员的申请人，他们的申请未来将变得极为困难，反之英国政府非常鼓励和支持那些真正打算赴英国拓展业务的申请人。
2. Clarification is being added to reflect that overseas businesses must be active and trading and intend to maintain their principal place of business outside the UK;
3. An amendment is being made to reflect that applicants must have the skills, experience, knowledge and authority to represent the overseas business in the UK;
4. Clarification is being added to reflect that applicants must be senior employees and cannot engage in their own business or represent any other business in the UK;
5. An amendment is being made to reflect that the ownership of overseas businesses is not limited to businesses that issue shares;
6. An amendment is being made to prevent majority owners from entering as the dependent spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner of are presentative of their own business. This will prevent owners circumventing the rules intended to prevent them relocating their business to the UK under this route.
7. An amendment is being made to the extension criteria to clarify that the branch or subsidiary must have been established in the UK, and not overseas.
这次关于“首席代表”的调整与其说是法案修改，不如说是一次对于要求的细化解读，去除了以前的一些灰色地带，新政策是完全要求申请人的背景为真实高管，如是去英国设立子公司的业务，修改以后那些没有工作经历的应届毕业生和家庭主妇将变得较难申请，而希望通过临时转股给亲属但实际仍然管理国内公司的申请人也将被拒绝。
同时我们希望提醒每个人申请人要注意的是，虽然新法于2020年6月4日在正式生效，按照英国“老人老办法新人新办法”的惯例，生效后才会执行新政标准，但是此次与以往不同的是，所有的法案只是强化细节，但是法律基础的要求和条款并没有变化，也就是说新政的细节要求其实在旧政里面也是存在的，建议已经申请并获得首代签证的人尽量以新政的标准去操作，防止未来续签和转永居碰到问题。
