UK might charge £500 for migrant workers to work there
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/homeaffairs/story/0,11026,1102136,00.html

The Home Office admits that the main motive is "an ongoing need to raise revenue". The pressure on ministers to make their policies self financing will be underlined when the chancellor confirms the tight nature of the public finances in his pre-Budget report on Wednesday.

The disclosure of the charges is expected to provoke protests by MPs and by businesses which rely on migrant workers. The increases will be phased in to dilute their impact.
