New rules for skilled and highly skilled migrant workers
Apr
07
Significant changes were introduced on 7th April 2010 for those wishing to apply under Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the points based system.
These changes include new points criteria for both tiers, a simpler route for very highly skilled workers without Master’s degrees, greater flexibility for short-term transfers by multinational companies and more protection against the use of such transfers to fill long-term vacancies that should go to residemt workers.
See the relevant section under Working in the UK for how this may affect you.
