Immigration UK 2006

The UK has developed a number of visas and work permits along the years and because of a strong multi cultural economy, many people have made the choice to migrate to the UK. It is important that potential migrants realise the different schemes that are available before they make the move.

One of the most popular schemes is the points based skilled immigration category the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) which was introduced in January 2002 to attract ' high human capital individuals, who have the qualifications and skills required by UK businesses to compete in the global marketplace' (Para 2.18, 2002 White Paper). In this scheme points are allocated for educational qualifications, work experience, past earnings, achievements and spouse qualifications.

If you have an employer willing to employ you then a company sponsored work permit is an alternative option open to you. Contact an immigration firm to decide which is most appropriate for you.
