Types of UK work permit Let’s start with the first set of slides
UK work permits are provided to people who intend to work in the country. Moreover, they have a standing job offer. Three types of work permits available are: • Tier 1 (General): Tier 1 visa is presently not taking new applicants. Nevertheless, it allows foreign nationals to apply for a work permit without a sponsor. Tier 1 general Visa and Tier 1 Post Study Work categories allow skilled workers to apply for a work permit from within the country. Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa and Tier 1 Investor Visa are for those people looking to invest or start a business in the country. • Tier 2 (Work Permit): This is for individuals who already have a work permit. The company in which the applicant is working can also avail of this visa. This includes Intra company transfers. The most important requirement over here is the certificate of sponsorship from the United Kingdom government. • Tier 5: This enables people looking for experience or short-term training in the country to apply for a visa. The age requirement is between 18 to 35 years of age. You should also read Work Visa For Australia. www.coursementor.com
