UK Points Based System

The new immigration system introduced by UK Border Agency has five tiers:

  • Tier 1 UK visa for highly skilled individuals to contribute to growth and productivity.
  • Tier 2 UK visa for skilled workers with a job offer to fill gaps in the UK labour force.
  • Tier 3 UK visa for limited numbers of low skilled workers needed to fill specific temporary
    labour shortages.
  • Tier 4 UK visa for students.
  • Tier 5 UK visa for youth mobility and temporary workers: people allowed to work in the UK
    for a limited period of time to satisfy primarily non-economic objectives.

 

UKBA Visa Applicants news

  • New English language requirement for partners
    From 29 November 2010, you will need to show that you can speak and understand English if you want to enter or remain in the UK as the partner of a British citizen or a person settled here.
  • Changes to the certificate of approval scheme
    The government has announced its intention to abolish the 'certificate of approval' scheme. However, the scheme currently remains in operation, so you must apply for a certificate of approval before you can get married or register a civil partnership in the UK if you are already here and subject to immigration control .
  • New English language testing for partners
    In June 2010 the government announced plans to introduce compulsory English language tests for all non-European migrants applying to come to the UK to join or marry their settled partner. Today we have announced that these plans will be implemented from 29 November 2010.
