Overview

The Government recently introduced significant changes to the Points Based Immigration System. These changes will affect Tier 2 (Intra company transfers).

The changes - which are the latest in a long line - will affect employers that employ nationals from non-EU countries, when offering completely new positions or when transferring employees from overseas branches.

From 6 April 2011 a further sub-division of the Established Staff sub-category was introduced, splitting it into Short Term Staff and Long Term Staff. There are both new time limitations and salary requirements that affect the Established Staff sub-categories. In addition employers must confirm that the job is at graduate level.

Wragge & Co discusses how these changes will affect employers.
