QUERY ON FIRST TIME FLR HSMP

Post by MONISH » Mon Mar 10, 2008 8:53 pm

Dear All,

Indian, working in Indian IT company on Work Permit in Switzerland from last 3 years. I have applied for HSMP in Feb and expected to get HSMP approval before March 2008.

Request you all to clarrify my doubts on FLR.
1.If i get HSMP approval before end of March, do you think it is good to apply for FLR (hsmp) before march or wait for Tier1 which is from April for India. Which one is beneficial

2.In case if i apply for FLR (HSMP) before march, do i comes under rules of FLR(hsmp) or Tier1

The FLR(HSMP) form is no longer valid. You'll need to apply for Entry Clearance.

That's entirely up to you, you'll get an extra year if you wait - not sure what (if any) the new EC rules will be.

QUERY ON FIRST TIME FLR HSMP

As i mentioned earlier, iam working for indian IT company, at present at client location in Switzerland from past 3 years. I have applied for HSMP and expecting the decision any time.
After getting HSMP approval, can i apply for EC from Switzerland? If yes
then it will be consider as FLR(HSMP) OR Tier1 after April 2008. becouse based on my nationality, from april 2008 i have to take tier1, but for rest of the world tier1 is applicable only from summer 2008.

Please clarify

regards

you should/must apply for EC before 1 April 2008, who knows in the new rules on 1 April 2008 they BIA introduce some new requirement for HSMP visa. Just like they did for FLR(HSMP) applicants in the U.K in terms of maintenance funds. So in order to avoid dissappointment or surprises, you better apply under the current rules before 1 April 2008. But the most important thing is you still have not received the approval!
