Claiming points for working for a UK company from overseas

Post by Leo2010 » Thu Mar 18, 2010 6:27 pm

I desperately need 5 more points under the new rules :( in order to qualify... I work for a big UK company at its branch in another country. Do you think it's possible to claim UK earnings if I was physically based at a branch outisde the UK but working virtually with the UK team? I got my bonus letter this year from the HR in the UK, would that help?

Do you mean that you want to claim 5 points for UK experience?

You have to have worked in the UK to do that.
