Tier 2 Skilled Workers
Tier 2 Skilled Workers
The Tier 2 Skilled Worker route is the main visa route by which non-EEA skilled workers come to work in the UK. A UK firm or organisation which holds a Tier 2 sponsor licence is able to employ Tier 2 migrants.
The two main types of Tier 2 visa are Tier 2 General and Tier 2 Intra-Company Transfer (often called “Tier 2 ICT”).
Tier 2 General Visa
The Tier 2 General route enables non-EEA skilled workers to come to the UK – or in some circumstances to remain in the UK and switch visas – to work in a specific job for a specific employer.
The job must be skilled to at least NQF level 6, and in every case, the employer must pay at least a stated minimum salary. The salary varies from job to job.
There is a B1 English language requirement and close family members (partner and minor children) can apply as dependants.
Tier 2 General visas can be granted for up to five years, and it may be possible to obtain settlement after five years.
Tier 2 ICT Visa
The Tier 2 ICT visa enables a senior employee of an international company to come to the UK to work in a skilled job in a UK branch of the company.
There is no English language requirement and close family members (partner and minor children) can apply as dependants.
This visa only confers limited leave and does not provide a route to settlement.
Only a firm or organisation which holds a Tier 2 sponsor licence can employ Tier 2 migrants, and the Tier 2 sponsor licence application process is quite difficult. And in some cases, the employer needs to advertise the position before they are able to sponsor a Tier 2 migrant and there may also be other complexities that the employer has to deal with.

I highly recommend GET the UK Visa, I've selected them for my ILR application as a British Spouse. In the beginning, I was a little bit sceptical and scared. I was coming from an agency where the solicitor did not know anything about the new digital rules, and I was freaking out every time I was talking to this lady. (At that time the digital application was new for me because I made my previous applications in an analogue way and with no solicitor help).
Adel and all the team were extremely patient; they listened to us and gave us all the confidence and knowledge to understand all the new digital process. He's been all the time next to us, answering all the questions and doubts. Even if I was having over and over again the same needs and doubts, he was always there. I had our Residency approved on the same day Application.
We decided, with no doubt, that he was also going to help us with my citizenship, which I've applied on the 22nd of February 2020. Due to Covid-19, he received my approval letter at the beginning of August 2020. The real date of the approval was the 24th of March 2020. So it means that thanks to Adel, the Home Office approved my citizenship a month after my application!!!!!
Thank you very much to Adel and all the team!! Valeria Simantob
