UK immigration

UK Immigration and Work Permits since 1988

We work together with OISC registered advisers who can help you with your UK visa applications.

The UK has introduced a number of new UK immigration categories in the last few years. The points based skilled immigration category the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, introduced in January 2002, proved to be very successful. However, it has been replaced byTier 1 (General), part of the UK’s new five-tier points based system.

From 1 May 2004 nationals of the new EU Countries have been able to work freely in the UK subject only to the requirement in most cases that they apply under the Worker Registration Scheme.
