UK Sponsorship Visa (Tier 2) — skilled worker
 The UK Tier 2 visa is for workers who are offered a job in
the UK and therefore have an employer who will act as a
sponsor for their visa application. How to get sponsorship in
the UK is through a job offer for a position categorized as a
‘shortage occupation’ and the employer completing a
‘resident labor market test’ to prove that the job can't be
filled by a resident worker.
The Tier 2 visa has four sub-categories:
 General — for those filling a gap in the workforce
 Minister of Religion — for those to be employed in a faith
community
 Sportsperson — for those employed at a high level in sports
 Intra Company Transfer — for those being transferred
overseas by their current employer
 While you are in the UK on a Tier 2 visa, you are only permitted
to work for the employer who sponsored your visa application. If
you leave the job for which you were sponsored, then you have to
find another employer to sponsor you or leave the UK.
Is the Tier 2 sponsorship visa the right one for me?
 Unless you are offered a job in a shortage occupation, it is not easy
to find a sponsor for a Tier 2 visa from outside the UK. If you are
not in a shortage occupation and wish to apply for a visa from
outside the UK, then Tier 1 (general) or Tier 5 (Youth Mobility)
could be better options for you. In certain industries, a
recruitment agency may be able to help you find a sponsor. A UK
visa through sponsorship is also a common route for working
holiday makers who wish to continue working for their current
UK employer when their Tier 5 working holiday visa expires.
Gaining sponsorship with a UK employer is generally easier when
you are already in the UK mainly because they can meet with you
in person.
 Do you qualify for the Tier 2 visa?
 Tier 2 (general) is points-based. You must score 70
points to qualify for UK sponsorship, including: 50
points for Attributes (30 for being assigned a certificate of
sponsorship and 20 for being paid the appropriate salary)
 10 points for English language skills
 10 points for having enough funds in the bank (£800 for 90
days) or if your sponsor is ‘A rated’
 You must also be over 16 years old, and cannot be a national
of the European Economic Area or Switzerland.
 About Your sponsorship certificate
 The sponsorship certificate is the responsibility of your
sponsoring employer in the UK. It isn't actually a paper
certificate, but a digital certificate from which your employer
will provide you with a reference number and other
information such as the agreed upon wage.
 Your sponsor will need to be registered as a licensed sponsor
with the UK Border Agency and apply for a certificate of
sponsorship for you. The certificate will act as an assurance
that you intend to undertake a particular job. There is more
information for sponsors on the UK Border Agency website.
 Make sure you have made a final decision on intending to
work for a potential employer before giving your personal
information to them. Only one sponsor can assign a
certificate to you, and once a sponsorship certificate is
arranged you cannot be sponsored by any other employer for
the period noted on the certificate.
 If you get a sponsorship certificate, it does not guarantee that
you will secure a Tier 2 visa.You must meet all the other
requirements for this visa.
Shortage occupations
 If you are qualified for an occupation that is listed on the
Skills Shortage List you will automatically receive 30 points
for the Attributes section of the Tier 2 visa application.You
will still need a sponsorship certificate that shows you will be
paid the appropriate wage. The Skills Shortage List includes
specific job titles and currently includes certain engineering
positions, medical practitioner positions, teaching positions,
social worker positions and chef positions.You can view the
current list on the UK Border Agency website here. There is
a separate Skills Shortage List for Scotland.
 English language skills and maintenance funds
 As with other UK visas, when you apply you will have to prove
your English language skills and show that you have enough money
to support yourself when you arrive. To be awarded points for
English language skills, you must either pass an English test
approved by the Border Agency, come from a majority English-
speaking country, or hold an undergraduate degree that was taught
in English. When you apply for a Tier 2 visa, you will also have to
show that you have £800 in personal savings (called ‘maintenance
funds’) and that you have held these funds for a period of three
months. The evidence you provide (such as original personal bank
statements) must be dated no earlier than one month before the
date of your application.
What happens if my sponsorship certificate becomes
invalid?
 Your sponsor is obligated to tell UK immigration if they no longer
employ you or if there is a significant change in your job or salary.
These circumstances may mean that your sponsored visa is not
valid and you will no longer have permission to work in the UK.
 If you have been approved for a Tier 2 visa, you can apply to
change employment, either within the same organisation or with a
new organization. The application will be treated as a new
application and a new sponsorship certificate will be required
from another licensed sponsor. However, having been sponsored
already will give you and your new employer confidence that
approval is very likely
