Not a farce when you look at the rules applied across the board.
So, for one, under the old work permit scheme, short term work permits were valid for one entry only. Under tier 5, and in line with PBS sponsorship across the board, a CoS needs to be matched against an application for leave to enter. Once matched it automatically becomes 'used'. A CoS is not designed to be used again once already matched against an application (for entry clearance or at port of entry). Under tier 2, this is certainly the case and would answer why the CoS has a limited life
If the promoter wants someone to re-enter they need another CoS on the second application as the first one has effectively died as soon as it is used.
Make sense?
