What is the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme?

One of the most popular UK immigration categories is the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, or what is often referred to as an HSMP visa. It is designed for high achievers (in any field) and young professionals with good potential.

If a person wishes to live and work in the UK the best application they can make will probably be under the HSMP. This is because no other type of immigration status or visa allows the flexibility that the HSMP offers. Successful applicants, who may be in any profession, will be allowed to enter the UK to work as they wish in their particular field.
