Frequently Asked Questions
What will happen with work permit applications during the transition to the points-based system?

The skilled worker tier (tier 2) and the temporary worker tier (tier 5) of the points-based system will be introduced at the end of November 2008. In the meantime, we understand employers will still wish to make work permit applications.

All work permit applications which we receive before the launch of tiers 2 and 5 will be treated under the current work permit system. If a migrant makes an application for entry clearance, or further leave to remain, on the basis of a valid work permit they will also be trated under the current immigration arrangements.

Work permits will remain valid for entry to the United Kingdom for 6 months after being issued, as is currently the case. They will therefore remain valid after the launch of tiers 2 and 5.

Prospective migrants applying on the basis of a work permit issued before tiers 2 and 5 launch will not have to meet the tiers 2 and 5 attributes requirements.

If this does not answer your question, please give more details.
