Information
The United Kingdom offers a range of immigration categories. The type of UK Visa for which you should apply will depend on the purpose of your entry to the UK or reason for continued stay in the UK.
UK Visas - The Points Based System
•Tier 1 Visas
Migrants with a Tier 1 General visa can continue to work but can no longer extend their visa. This scheme is also now closed to new applicants. The primary Tier 1 routes that are available to new applications are the Tier 1 Investor visa and the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa.
To contact Skillclear about the "Investor" visa, CLICK HERE.

•Tier 2 Work Visas
The Tier 2 category is the replacement for the old Work Permit scheme, including Tier 2 General (this is the primary category for non-EEA workers to be sponsored by a UK employer), Tier 2 Intra-Company Transfers (ICT), Sportspersons and Ministers of Religion.
You need a Certificate of Sponsorship (offer of employment) from the UK employer before you can apply for your Tier 2 Visa.
For employers wishing to register for a Tier 2 Sponsorship Licence, CLICK HERE.
•Tier 4 Student Visas
The Tier 4 Visa category is the replacement for the previous Student Visa category, allowing individuals to study in the UK. After successful completion of studies you may be able to switch to a Tier 2 General visa if you can obtain sponsorship from a UK employer.

•Tier 5 Visas - Youth Mobility (Working Holidays)
Tier 5 Visas (Youth Mobility) replaced the previous Working Holiday Visa and allow for up to 2 years working in the UK for those between the ages of 18 and 30 from qualifying countries.
