Migrants will need 70 points to be eligible to work in the UK following the introduction of a new immigration points system.
Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, will be setting out the details of the new system through a policy document and written ministerial statement, which is due around 10.30am.
The document will outline how those looking to live in the UK can get enough points to migrate to a post-Brexit Britain.
Migrants will need to ensure they have 70 points if they wish to live in the UK.
A job offer and appropriate skill level of A-level or above will result in 20 points respectively, while fluency in English will equate to 10 points.
Occupations where there is a job shortage in the UK will mean 20 points; a PhD in a subject relevant to the job will mean a further 10 points and a PhD in a STEM subject will equal 20 points.
Meanwhile a salary of £23,040 – £25,599 will be worth 10 points and a salary of £25,599 or above, 20 points.
It comes as the former chair of the Migration Advisory Committee has said that the new points-based immigration system is unlikely to affect the NHS.
Alan Manning, professor of economics at the London School of Economics, told BBC Radio 4's the Today programme that new plans to include an "NHS visa" for health care workers was "probably a good idea, but not really game-changing for those sectors", because the relatively high salary meant most jobs would come above the new salary threshold for overseas workers.
"The health care sector is predicted to be the least affected because most jobs are eligible anyway," he said. "The NHS, although people worry about it a lot because it is incredibly important sector, is not predicted to see a big impact [from the new immigration system].
However there was a "really serious problem" in social care because "they just don't offer competitive pay and other conditions," he said, noting there were "plenty of [British] people able to do those jobs but they don't want to ."
He added: "They need to find the money to pay those workers properly... Of course, it's quite easy to say these workers deserve to be paid more - it’s a bit harder to find that money."
