For those individuals with a low skilled job offer from a UK employer (sponsor).

Tier 3 is currently suspended by the UK Border Agency for an indefinite period. It is expected that these labour needs will be met from within the EEA.

Tier 3 was created to replace both the Sector Based Scheme (SBS) and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme (SAWS) for non EEA nationals (except for Bulgarian and Romanian nationals). The UK sponsor must have a valid sponsorship licence.

If you would like us to manage a Tier 3 application on your behalf, you should seek professional advice at an early stage, to ensure that the application is fully prepared and any relevant timing or immigration issues addressed.
