Immigration - Points Based System

The new points based system hasbeen gully 'rolled out' and is now live.  Since 27th November 2009 (when the final tiers went live) any employer wishing to recruit a non EU resident must first be registered as an approved sponsor with the UK Border Agency. 

Full details of the scheme and the requirements for sponsorship can be accessed below.

If you are looking to use migrant workers it is essential that you adhere to your obligations under the Asylum and Immigration Act.  The penalties for failing to do so can be found on the Statutory Defence page or by clicking here.
