Work Visas for Nurses

The points-based system (PBS) was introduced by UK government in 2008 for managing migration for those wishing to enter the UK for work or study. It applies to nationals of all countries that are outside the EEA and has five tiers:

Tier 2

The tier 2 (general) skilled worker category is employer-led and allows organisations to recruit individuals from outside the EEA to fill vacancies that cannot be filled by a British or EEA worker. This tier replaces the work permit application process. You must be able to score a minimum of 70 points against the criteria for this tier:

  • 50 points for attributes (sponsorship/job offer, qualifications, prospective earnings)
  • 10 points for maintenance (available funds to support themselves and their dependants in the UK)
  • 10 points for evidence of English language competence

Under this tier, you must have both a sponsor and a valid certificate of sponsorship before applying to the UKBA for leave to enter, or remain in, the UK. The certificate of sponsorship is not an actual document but a unique reference number which will be issued to you by your sponsor and will form part of the documentary evidence required when making your application.

A certificate of sponsorship can be issued for a maximum of three years. Your employer can apply for a two-year extension at the end of this period, after which you may qualify for settlement. If you change employment whilst in the UK, you will need a new certificate of sponsorship from your employer.
