Visa information for the UKGetting the right visa type is crucial and UK employers definitely have a preference for those with full working rights. We recommend you get the best visa you can before you leave. If you need to prove that you’re actively seeking employment in the UK to get your a visa, we can provide a letter of support that can speed up the visa application process. Below we have listed the visas available in order of UK employer and agency preferences.
If you are lucky enough to have a British or EU passport, the right to work through Ancestry, Right of Abode or a Spousal visa, you have the same working rights as a British person.
Tier 1 visa (Highly skilled workers) The Tier 1 visa replaced the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP). This visa is points-based and, if you meet the criteria, you can immigrate to the UK. It allows you to work for two years in any profession and can be extended for three years. You score points based on your age, income, qualifications, English language ability and having sufficient funds to support yourself.
Tier 5 visa (Youth mobility scheme) This is a popular option for New Zealanders and Australians under 31. The Tier 5 (Youth Mobility Scheme) visa allows you to work for a two year period. This is a great visa for getting to the UK quickly. It is points-based and the main thing is you must be one of the following nationalities: Australian, Canadian, Japanese, New Zealander or a British overseas citizen.
Tier 2 visa (Sponsored skilled workers) People are sponsored to work in the UK all the time, but it is not something that is guaranteed and it is exceptionally rare without being in the UK. Find out more about the Tier 2 visa here.
