Overview
The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme has been very
successful since its launch on 28th Jan 2002 enabling in
excess of 24,000 individuals to enter the UK.
The points based scheme allows you to qualify for HSMP
based on your qualifications, work experience and
achievements in a particular field. The programme was
designed to encourage the entry of people to the UK to seek
employment who are probably already earning a high salary
and are very successful in their home country.
Any individual can apply; depending on your circumstances
where you may apply from will vary. Applications made in the
UK will be scored against the HSMP criteria but whether
leave to remain is granted will also be determined by your
current immigration status. Applications for those resident
overseas no longer need to be made in the first instance via
a British embassy or consulate overseas. We can make these
applications directly in the UK.
How you can qualify under the programme
To make a successful application you will need to provide
evidence that you score 65 points or more in the categories
and demonstrate that you will be able to continue your
career in the United Kingdom. Please note that you do not
have to score points in all categories to qualify under the programme as long as you score at the minimum points total
required. Please Note: The pass mark is 65 points. This is
not a moveable figure. Applications will not be progressed
if 65 points cannot be achieved.
If you do not qualify under the Highly Skilled Migrant
Programme, there are other options available to you:
If you are a Commonwealth citizen between the ages of 17
and 30 then you may qualify for a Working Holiday Visa. With
recent changes to legislation you will now be able to work
full time with the Working Holiday Visa without need to find
an employer first.
If you have a job offer from a UK company which wants to
employ you in a role for which it can not find an EU
national, you may be able to get an employer sponsored work
permit.
