UK Sponsorship Visa (Tier 2) — skilled worker
The UK Tier 2 visa is for workers who are offered a
job in the UK and therefore have an employer who
will act as a sponsor for their visa application. How to
get sponsorship in the UK is through a job offer for a
position categorized as a ‘shortage occupation’ and the
employer completing a ‘resident labor market test’ to
prove that the job can't be filled by a resident worker.
The Tier 2 visa has four sub-categories:
General — for those filling a gap in the workforce
Minister of Religion — for those to be employed in a faith
community
Sportsperson — for those employed at a high level in sports
Intra Company Transfer — for those being transferred
overseas by their current employer
While you are in the UK on a Tier 2 visa, you are only
permitted to work for the employer who sponsored your visa
application. If you leave the job for which you were
sponsored, then you have to find another employer to
sponsor you or leave the UK.
Is the Tier 2 sponsorship visa the right one for me?
Unless you are offered a job in a shortage occupation, it is not
easy to find a sponsor for a Tier 2 visa from outside the UK.
If you are not in a shortage occupation and wish to apply for a
visa from outside the UK, then Tier 1 (general) or Tier 5
(Youth Mobility) could be better options for you. In certain
industries, a recruitment agency may be able to help you find
a sponsor. A UK visa through sponsorship is also a common
route for working holiday makers who wish to continue
working for their current UK employer when their Tier 5
working holiday visa expires. Gaining sponsorship with a UK
employer is generally easier when you are already in the UK
mainly because they can meet with you in person.
Do you qualify for the Tier 2 visa?
Tier 2 (general) is points-based. You must score 70
points to qualify for UK sponsorship, including: 50
points for Attributes (30 for being assigned a certificate
of sponsorship and 20 for being paid the appropriate
salary)
10 points for English language skills
10 points for having enough funds in the bank (£800
for 90 days) or if your sponsor is ‘A rated’
You must also be over 16 years old, and cannot be a
national of the European Economic Area or
Switzerland.
About Your sponsorship certificate
The sponsorship certificate is the responsibility of your
sponsoring employer in the UK. It isn't actually a paper
certificate, but a digital certificate from which your
employer will provide you with a reference number and
other information such as the agreed upon wage.
Your sponsor will need to be registered as a licensed sponsor
with the UK Border Agency and apply for a certificate of
sponsorship for you. The certificate will act as an assurance
that you intend to undertake a particular job. There is more
information for sponsors on the UK Border Agency website.
Make sure you have made a final decision on
intending to work for a potential employer before
giving your personal information to them. Only one
sponsor can assign a certificate to you, and once a
sponsorship certificate is arranged you cannot be
sponsored by any other employer for the period noted
on the certificate.
If you get a sponsorship certificate, it does not
guarantee that you will secure a Tier 2 visa. You must
meet all the other requirements for this visa.
Shortage occupations
If you are qualified for an occupation that is listed on
the Skills Shortage List you will automatically receive
30 points for the Attributes section of the Tier 2 visa
application. You will still need a sponsorship certificate
that shows you will be paid the appropriate wage. The
Skills Shortage List includes specific job titles and
currently includes certain engineering positions,
medical practitioner positions, teaching positions, social
worker positions and chef positions. You can view the
current list on the UK Border Agency website here.
There is a separate Skills Shortage List for Scotland.
English language skills and maintenance funds
As with other UK visas, when you apply you will have to
prove your English language skills and show that you have
enough money to support yourself when you arrive. To be
awarded points for English language skills, you must either
pass an English test approved by the Border Agency, come
from a majority English-speaking country, or hold an
undergraduate degree that was taught in English. When you
apply for a Tier 2 visa, you will also have to show that you
have £800 in personal savings (called ‘maintenance funds’)
and that you have held these funds for a period of three
months. The evidence you provide (such as original personal
bank statements) must be dated no earlier than one month
before the date of your application.
What happens if my sponsorship certificate becomes invalid?
Your sponsor is obligated to tell UK immigration if they no
longer employ you or if there is a significant change in your
job or salary. These circumstances may mean that your
sponsored visa is not valid and you will no longer have
permission to work in the UK.
If you have been approved for a Tier 2 visa, you can apply to
change employment, either within the same organisation or
with a new organization. The application will be treated as a
new application and a new sponsorship certificate will be
required from another licensed sponsor. However, having been
sponsored already will give you and your new employer
confidence that approval is very likely
