The second tier of the new points based UK immigration service replaces UK work permits and applies to medium and highly skilled workers wishing to immigrate to the UK who have an offer from a UK sponsoring company in place.
As is the case for tier 3 visas, tier 4 visas and tier 5 visas, applying for a UK visa for immigration under tier two will require each candidate to obtain a certificate of sponsorship, in this case from the sponsoring company, as part of their application. Like the existing UK work permit visa system, tier visa applications at this level are an employer led process and the company in question will need to fulfill certain responsibilities. However, this visa service also has elements in common with the first tier and the outgoing Highly Skilled migrant Programme or HSMP in that a points threshold, in this case 50 points must be met on a skills assessment and a level of proficiency in the English language will be required.
Benefits of UK Tier 2 visas:
Like tier 1 visas, a tier 2 visa application is a potential route for settlement in the United Kingdom and as with the current system of UK work permits, applicants may become eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK (ILR) or permanent residence after five years in Britain. Beyond this, subject to meeting the requirements for British Naturalization, a candidate may be able to naturalize as a British citizen.
Eligibility of UK Tier 2 visas:
Details of the points system are yet to be confirmed but the table below outlines the likely structure of the assessment criteria.
