Skilled Worker Visa
The Tier 2 category permits businesses in the UK to employ workers from outside the European Economic Area (EEA). A business must first have a sponsorship licence granted to it from the UKBA.
SBA Solicitors have assisted hundreds of businesses to obtain a licence, undertaken pre audit compliance checks, challenged civil penalties and also conducted appeals to assist our corporate immigration clients. After the 1 January 2021, and the end of free movement, then whether you are from a non-EEA country or you are an EU citizen you will need a visa to enter the UK to live and work. The notable exception to this requirement is if you are from the EU and you enter the UK prior to the 31 December 2020 and apply for pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme by the cut-off date. For non-EEA nationals, used to the UK visa process, the new skilled worker visa may come as a welcome change as there are some positives in comparison to the current Tier 2 (General) visa. However, for EU citizens looking to settle in the UK after the 1 January 2021, and for UK employers used to employing EU nationals without red tape or hassle, the proposed new skilled worker visa may take some getting used to.
