How can I apply?
You should apply to the Highly
Skilled Migrant Programme Team at Work Permits
UK (WPUK) in Sheffield. You can apply from
abroad. In most cases, you can also apply
from inside the UK if you are here with Home
Office permission.
Your application will not
be successful if you are in the United Kingdom
as a visitor, on temporary admission, or without
permission.
How do I qualify as a highly skilled
migrant?
There is a points-based immigration scheme.
Points are scored in five main areas:
There are also separate arrangements
for those who are applying through the MBA
Provision and further points can be awarded
for those applying through the Priority Application
Process for General Practitioners.
A separate young person's assessment also
exists whereby an extra 5 points can be awarded
if the applicant is under 28 years of age
at the time of application.
You need to score 75 points or more to qualify
as a highly skilled migrant.
Self-employed General Practitioners qualified
to practice in the UK may also apply under
the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme.
