Work Permit and Work Visa
Work
permit is a common term for a legal authorization
which allows a person to take employment. It is
most often used in reference to instances where
a person is given permission to work in a country
where one does not hold citizenship.
There are 2 main types of visa
that give the right to work in the UK, both of
which come under the UK Points Based System:
Tier 1 Visa - UK HSMP
The Tier 1 General Visa is a replacement for the
previous Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP).
This visa gives the individual the right to work
without the employer needing to sponsor the work
permit. This has the advantage of giving the Tier
1 Visa holder freedom of movement in the job market,
including the right to establish a business or
work on a freelance basis.
Equally, the employer of a Tier 1 Visa holder
does not need to register with the Home Office
and is not subject to audits by the Home Office
as a consequence of employing a non-EEA national.
Tier
2 Visa - UK Work Permit
Tier 2 Visas are issued for those holding a Certificate
of Sponsorship. This is similar to the old Work
Permit system where a Work Permit would be issued
and the individual would then apply for Entry
Clearance or Further Leave to Remain.
Work Permit Conditions:
A successful applicant is given up to 3 years
to live and work in the UK for that employer.
This period can be extended later. After being
in the UK for 5 years, it is possible to apply
for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), also known
as permanent residency. Work permits are specific
to the employers who obtained them, meaning that
they are not transferable.
There are 4 categories of
Tier 2 work permits:
1. Skilled Worker
- the Tier 2 skilled worker category is for people
with a specific skilled job offer in the UK who
are needed to fill a temporary gap in labour force.
2. Intra-Company
Transfer - the intra-company transfer category
is for people who are being transferred to a UK
branch of their organisation.
3. Sports People
- the sports people category is for elite professional
athletes and coaches.
4. Minister of Religion
- the minister of religion category is for workers
within a bona fide religion.
