Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick has drawn up a set of proposals to attempt to cut immigration to the UK.
The ideas, which he has shared with No 10, are not yet government policy, but are being discussed internally.
Among the suggestions are a required minimum annual salary of £35,000 in order to receive a work visa.
It comes after official figures put last year's net migration figure higher than previously thought - at a record 745,000 people.
This has led to calls for more action to bring down migration from Tory MPs.
Rishi Sunak said "levels of immigration are too high" and need to come down "to sustainable levels".
The prime minister added that the government's plans to clamp down on dependents of students arriving in the UK is "the single toughest measure that anyone has taken to bring down the levels of legal migration in a very long time".

£35,000 and fewer dependants sounds all well and good but what about the illegals?
