Points Based System [PBS] launched today
29th February 2008
The new Points Based System [PBS] is taking effect from today; Tier 1 for Highly Skilled Migrants is the first of five separate Tiers, providing a robust and measured means of ensuring that only the best can work in Britain. Other changes include the introduction of new licences for employers that wish to employ migrant workers, which will be a mandatory requirement for Tier 2 Work Permit applications, which are due to take effect in Autumn 2008, together with on-the-spot fines being issued to those employers that do not confirm to the rules and anyone found hiring illegal workers in the UK.

Work Permits – Construction & Planning
We have developed a wide range of experience within the Construction and Planning sectors; making work permits for permission to employ architects, surveyors, technicians and technologists. From part-qualified RIBA students, to Partner level applications, we can provide you with detailed advice on what options are available, to ensure that your work permit application stands the best chance for success. We have proven experience in managing work permit applications on behalf of the top 500 UK employers in a diverse and wide ranging skill set.
Whilst qualified professionals are difficult to find, this sector is not recognised by the Home Office as a shortage occupation, which means that positions are still subject to demonstrating that the UK employer has advertised for this vacancy prior to a work permit application being made.
In order to obtain a work permit, the position must require a high level of qualifications and/or experience. If the employer and/or the individual cannot show that this position meets the minimum level of skills required by the work permit scheme, then it is unlikely that an application can be made successfully.
The Home Office will expect to see evidence of the individual’s qualifications and professional experience to support the work permit application, together with relevant documentation from the UK employer. We will advise you on the most appropriate documents to support your application to best effect. Contact us for a free work permit assessment with details of the position offered, the UK employer and details of the skills and qualifications that the individual has gained to date. We will provide you with a free assessment based on our experience of managing similar cases, details of any timing / immigration issues involved and a quote for managing this application on your behalf.
If you have not been offered a position within a UK company, then you cannot make a work permit application. You need to speak to recruitment agencies and employers directly. Alternatively you may be eligible for the Highly Skilled Migrant [HSMP] scheme. If you think you may be eligible for this scheme you should complete our HSMP assessment form. |
