Tier 2 Work Permit

Tier 2 Work Permit benefits any individuals who are looking to apply for long-term employment. Generally, for those wanting to transfer from company based in overseas to a company in the UK – Intra-company transfer, sportspeople involved at a high level in their sport – sports person, and the religious workers – Minister of Religion.

Certificate of Sponsorship

For the Tier 2 Work Permits, you must obtain a Certificate of Sponsorship.

A certificate of sponsorship is an electronic record that includes all your details and information about the job you are offered. Your sponsor should provide you a Certificate of the Sponsorship reference number to add to your application, and the reference number should be used only once. You must use it within 3 months after receiving it.

For a business to succeed in the competitive market, it is vital to have highly skilled workers from around the world. Our corporate immigration solicitors are happy to assist various businesses to meet the requirement for Sponsorship Licences and help the employers hire Tier 2 – highly skilled migrant workers.

The Home Office requires businesses to appoint their existing staff to the sponsorship management roles such as Authorising officer, key contact, and Level 1 user who would be responsible for the day to day management of the license information.

Employers should also demonstrate that the business is a genuine organisation that is trading lawfully in the UK. Employers should ensure that the HR department is competent, organised and familiar with the business responsibilities as the sponsor of Tier 2 skilled migrant workers.

Under Restricted work residence permit or as a Tier 2 General visa holder, you are permitted to bring the dependents with you, obtain voluntary work, travel abroad and return to the UK during their stay. They can also undertake study without interfering with the job they are sponsored to do in the UK.
