Types of Visa

Tier 1 - General

Tier 1 general is now closed to new applicants. However, it is still relevant as it is possible for people who are already in the United Kingdom under this category to extend their leave and also to apply for settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain) after having completed 5 years in this category or in combination with other categories.

Tier 2 - General Visa

This allows a person to work in a skilled role for a specified UK employer. There are restrictions on other employment or business activities. A job offer is required for this category. The UK employer must hold a valid sponsorship licence. This will allow the employer to generate a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to that person. This is specific to that person and the type of work undertaken. Tier 2 is split into four sub-categories: General Intra Company Transfer Sportsperson Minister of Religion. Source Permits 2 Work
