UK Visas and British Citizenship

  The new points based immigration system - easier, faster and more flexible !    It’s beginning to feel a lot like ... Brexit. And it starts early on 1 December 2020, a whole month before the UK officially cuts the ties with the EU. The new immigration system for work visas starts on 1 December 2020. It allows to sponsor foreign workers faster, easier and on far more flexible terms than under the current Tiered (and tired) policy. It will be the same for EU and non-EU workers.    What’s better?   No annual limit - no restricted certificates - no waiting for a place or competing on salaries.  No resident labour test - no need to advertise a job to the settled workers to justify hiring a foreigner.  No cooling-off period, meaning no need to wait for 12 months to re-apply under this visa category.  No cap of how many years you can stay in the UK as a Skilled Worker (currently 6 years).  Lower salary levels in many cases (not in all).  Plus, a much wider range of acceptable jobs, down to

  Despite everything that's going on, the immigration work very much continues, it just keeps changing! Here is our latest news roundup.   #1 Remember Brexit? The new Points-Based System is being introduced with most new categories (including work visas) starting 1 December 2020.  It will be much easier than now to sponsor foreign workers from all over the world. The same visa rules will apply to Europeans and non-Europeans, meaning the UK can benefit from the skilled workers with any passport.  UK employers will still need a licence (as now under Tier 2, the visa, not lockdown!), and workers a job offer, however, the scope will be broader with the whole process faster.    #2 What about the current Points-Based System?  If, like us, you are having a sense of deja-vu, that’s because a Points-Based System existed in the UK for more than 10 years. It will be replaced by the new one, new points and new rules.  If you have a visa under the current PBS (such as Tier 2), you will need to

The British Government launched Health and Care Visa on 4th August 2020, it is open to all nationals , including Europeans after Brexit. It offers fast-track entry, reduced visa application fees and no health surcharge! Open to qualified doctors, nurses, dentists, midwives, therapists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, biological scientists as well as social workers and some adult care professionals - the list is exhaustive and defined by the policy. For example, the actual care workers are not included but this may change later, especially after Brexit in January 2021 (when the new points-based system will officially start). Everyone needs a job offer from an eligible employer, such as the NHS or a registered care provider.  Details: https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-health-care-visa  As always, 1st 4Immigration team are here to help with the latest developments in the fast-changing environment of UK Immigration Rules.

Dear customers of   1st   4 Immigration , Hong Kong has been a focus of the new lately, with the UK Government promising special visas for  British Nationals (Overseas)  status holders, such as in this  BBC story.  Here we look at the details of the  scheme coming in force in January 2021.  1. It will only be available to BN(O) status holders, which means those born before 1 July 1997 (date of handover to China) and who actually registered for this status by 2007. It is not possible to obtain this status now.    2. The BN(O) status cannot be passed to children but eligible BN(O) applicants can bring their families with them: spouse/partner and children under 18 yo. In some limited cases, children aged 18 and over may be allowed too. 3. There is no need to have a valid BN(O) passport, it can be an old one, and there is no restriction on dual nationality. But there is a condition to be a resident in Hong Kong. For example, if you are a ‘BN(O)’ but moved
