UK Immigration Requirements
UK Immigration Requirements
The UK government has made several changes to UK Business Visa
Under this category an individual is allowed to come to the UK to work, albeit on his/her business.
The UK Visa consists of the following:
Tier 1 Visa: This accepts ‘high-value migrants’, entrepreneurs, investors, and ‘exceptionally talented’ persons. The funds needed are GBP (£200,000), from one of the following:
- Gifts
- Proceeds of Sale deed
- Evidence from a business
- Amount bequeathed in a Will
- Divorce Settlement
- Awards or winnings
- Any other sources
Specific documents will be needed combined with the specific details on those documents. If the funds are not in the UK then the bank needs to confirm that the money can be transferred to the UK.
The person must also prove to be genuinely intending to run a business in the UK. He/ she should be well-prepared for starting/owning or buying an established business or join one as a director.
Tier 2 Visa:
The Tier 2 Work Permit category has been designed as a part of the UK’s new migration structure and requires applicants to have a Certificate of Sponsorship. A Certificate of Sponsorship is a unique reference number that a sponsor issues to a Tier 2 migrant worker whom it desires to employ in the UK. The CoS will allow the workers to enable them to take up employment with the UK based sponsoring company.
There are two categories:
Work Permit – General
The Work Permit category is designed for skilled job applicants coming to the United Kingdom with an offer to fill a gap in the workforce following a Residential Labor Test. Holders can change their job in the UK, but the process of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship needs to be repeated.
Intra-Company Transfer
The Tier 2 Intra-Company Transfer category is for MNC employees who are transferred by an overseas employer to a skilled job in a UK based branch of their organization. Applicants are exempt from the English Language requirement for three years.
