1:22 Brexit: New Visa For Truck Drivers After Chaos And Shortages In The UK
The United Kingdom is undergoing a supply crisis of essential goods due to a shortage of hauliers and truck drivers,
prompting the British government to expand its seasonal workers’ scheme to offer temporary visas to meet the shortages from nearby European countries.
The British government announced it will deliver over 10,000 temporary visas to lorry drivers and poultry workers to help ease supply chain issues in the lead-up to Christmas.
The Department for Transport said that it will issue three-month visas to 5,000 lorry drivers to provide “short-term relief for the haulage industry“
and another 5,500 to poultry workers “to avoid any potential further pressures on the food industry during this exceptional period.“
It also aims to train 4,000 people as new heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers with the help of examiners from the Ministry of Defence.
2:32 UK Workforce Shortage
The COVID pandemic, an aging workforce, and an exodus of foreign workers following Brexit have all been cited as reasons for the crisis.
Since January, after the UK has completed the final stage of Brexit, employers have been unable to freely recruit European workers, as was previously the case.
The coronavirus pandemic has also exacerbated the crisis that stems from a long-term shortage of British truck drivers.
The industry says it’s short of tens of thousands of lorry drivers.
This has led to sporadic supply chain issues at supermarkets and other shops over the past few weeks and some petrol stations have had to close in recent days because there are not enough qualified drivers to distribute fuel around the country.

4:13 UK Short-term Visas
Recruitment for additional short-term HGV drivers and poultry workers will begin next month, with visas valid until 24 December.
The Seasonal Worker route under the UK’s points-based system will be used as a basis for this scheme, with the list of eligible countries including Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey.
