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 – IT & Telecommunications
We have successfully managed work permit applications across the IT and Telecommunication industries. From graduate programmers to senior IT directors, 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.
There is a continuous requirement for qualified professionals in new and emerging technologies on an international scale. Previously recognised by the Home Office as a shortage occupation, we have a significant level of experience in managing work permit applications from within this sector.
Whilst there is an increasing need for skilled professionals in the workforce, you may need to support your application with evidence that the UK employer has advertised for this vacancy prior to a work permit application being made.
Please note that work permits cannot be issued to recruitment agencies, only the end employer. It is possible to work under a services agreement; however, there must be a clear employer-employee relationship that exists with evidence to demonstrate that the UK employer is taking responsibility for the work to be undertaken.
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. |
