Table 4 - Occupations which are ineligible for Sponsorship in Tier 2 (General) and Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) applications, due to skill level, but which may still apply to some indefinite leave to remain applications
5434 Chefs
Only the following job in this occupation code:
Skilled chef where:
the pay is at least £29,570 per year after deductions for accommodation, meals etc; and
the job requires five or more years relevant experience in a role of at least equivalent status to the one they are entering; and the job is not in either a fast food outlet, a standard fare outlet, or an establishment which provides a take-away service; and
The job is in one of the following roles:
executive chef - limited to one per establishment
head chef - limited to one per establishment
sous chef - limited to one for every four Spam staff per establishment
specialist chef - limited to one per speciality per establishment
A fast food outlet is one where food is prepared in bulk for speed of service, rather than to individual order.
A standard fare outlet is one where the menu is designed centrally for outlets in a chain / franchise, rather than by a chef or chefs in the individual restaurant. Standard fare outlets also include those where dishes and / or cooking sauces are bought in ready-made, rather than prepared from fresh / raw ingredients.
They need to meet the English requirement. It is not about what is the required communication in the work place but about integrating into British society.It is just the English requirement for the chefs I am worried about. I tried searching but could not find if the job shortage occupation list would allow chefs to be exempt from the English level requirement. They would be working in an environment where communication would be Chinese therefore English is not needed to carry out work duties.
Recommendations, names or details are not permitted to be posted on the forum. The guidance notes are pretty clear and explain the processes.While on this topic, do you have any recommendations on solicitors who would have done this type of work before? Both helping businesses apply for sponsor licence and helping immigrants apply tier 2 general visa.
245G. Purpose of this route and definitions
This route enables multinational employers to transfer their existing employees from outside the EEA to their UK branch for training purposes or to fill a specific vacancy that cannot be filled by a British or EEA worker. There are two sub-categories in this route:
(i) Long Term staff: for established employees of multi-national companies who are being transferred to a skilled job in the UK[/b][/u] which could not be carried out by a new recruit from the resident workforce;
(ii) Graduate Trainee: for recent graduate recruits of multi-national companies who are being transferred to the UK branch of the same organisation as part of a structured graduate training programme, which clearly defines progression towards a managerial or specialist role.
Please keep all your questions on the same question of sponsoring a chef in ONE topic (this one)!!

Tier 2 ICT is the strangest way to employ a chef in the UK, for a start you have to meet a higher minimum wage so I am at a loss as why you want to pursue that method.
Can it be done, the guidance suggests it can, would you want to though?
If the chef meets the shortage occupation requirements it is a better / cheaper option to use Tier 2 general route. Out of interest did you apply for a Tier 2 general and ICT licence or just ICT?
