如何去英国伦敦工作签证?
来英国的工签主要有两种,2009年之前的Tier 1和2009年之后的Tier 2, 申请工签的要求都是本科毕业并且有学士学位证书. T1是以前的精英签证类别,主要针对的是高收入人群,比如企业家移民之类的,因为这类申请人每年都交高额的担保金,对于英国的经济有好处所以一直存在到现在, 但是名额很少而且条件很苛刻,基本不可能申请成功,因此也不作为主要方式讨论了. 所以我们这里只说T2, 也就是一般所说的技术工人签证. 技术工人的签证分为5个不同级别.
1) Tier 2 General (standard or limited), which covers those with a job offer in an unskilled occupation, e.g. plumber for a general builder; skilled occupations without a PhD qualification such as IT support technician and nurse for hospitals that are not NHS. This is the most common visa category to use by non-EU nationals looking to work in UK from outside of Europe;
2) Tier 2 Skilled Worker, covering those who have been offered a position at least Grade A in a skilled profession requiring a professional qualifications (e.g. doctors/nurses/accountants); These applicants would need either sponsorship under Tier 2, exemption through Tier 5 (Government Authorised Exchange program), or a post approved by the Home Office. In particular this includes those on short term posts sponsored via a Tier 5 temporary work visa programme, eg. international sportspersons, researchers etc ;
3) Tier 2 Minister of Religion, which basically requires a job interview at the Home Office before you can be considered eligible for any kind of permit (not just the minister of religion one) because it’s seen to be too risky to let foreign preachers into Britain unless they prove their credentials in person! 4) Tier 2 Intra Company Transfer, similar to business visitor visas but allows more flexibility if your company sends employees overseas and needs them back permanently, covered by some types of intra-group loan agreements so companies like Google and Facebook get around being restricted in how many staff they may sponsor each year;
5) Tier 5 Temporary Work Visas, mainly for traineeships, volunteer activity, religious workers and government authorised exchange activities. The main ones we will discuss here are Graduate Trainee Scheme (for graduates working full time for six months up to two years after graduation), Youth Mobility Scheme (
