Tier 2 UK Visas – Work Permits

Tier 2 UK Visas is the successor for the old UK “work permits visa” arrangement. To apply under Tier 2 of the points-based system (PBS) you must:

• have a job offer from a licensed sponsor (employer) and a valid certificate of sponsorship (CoS); and
• pass a points-based assessment. If you are a Turkish citizen and you are already in the UK with a visa that gives you the right to work, you may have certain rights under the European Community Association Agreement with Turkey.

This category is for foreign nationals who have been offered a skilled job to fill a gap in the workforce that cannot be filled by a settled worker.
However, for the year from 6 April 2013 to 5 April 2014, a maximum of 20,700 skilled workers can come to the UK under Tier 2 (General) to do jobs with an annual salary below £152,100.Apply Now
