What are the Different UK Work Visas?

There are two main categories of UK work visas: Tier 2 Visas and Tier 5 Visas.

Tier 2 is the work visa category for those who have been offered long-term employment in the UK. The visas within this category are as follows:

• Tier 2 (General): The main UK work visa category for those who have been offered a position in a UK company
• Tier 2 Intra-company Transfer Visa: This is for those who have been offered a position in the UK branch of a multinational company
• Tier 2 Minister of Religion Visa: For people who have been offered a place in a UK-based faith community
• Tier 2 Sportsperson Visa: This visa is for professional sportspersons

To be eligible for a Tier 2 visa, you must have received a job offer from a UK employer which holds a sponsorship licence. Your unique certificate of sponsorship number must be included on your visa application.

The Tier 5 Temporary Work visa is for those entering the UK for temporary employment. This visa typically lasts for a maximum of twelve months.

Do you Offer Support with Administrative Reviews and Appeals?

We understand that receiving a visa application rejection can be devastating news. If you believe that your visa application was unfairly rejected, you should be able to challenge the Home Office’s decision.

Your refusal letter will tell you whether you can proceed with an administrative review or lodge a legal appeal against the Home Office’s decision. If you want to challenge the Home Office’s decision, the IAS can help. Our immigration lawyers can provide full support and guidance, including full legal representation if necessary.

The administrative review is the most suitable option if you believe the Home Office made a genuine mistake, such as not taking a certain document into account. We can support you with the administrative review process if you wish to go down this route.

In some cases, you will have the option to lodge an official legal appeal against the Home Office’s decision, such as if your British citizenship or protection status has been revoked, or if your humanitarian protection claim has been refused.

The IAS has a specialist appeal package for those who wish to go down the appeal route. With our specialist appeal package, we will:

• Investigate and review the reasons for your UK visa refusal and your options to proceed with an appeal
• Help you to produce an extensive portfolio of supporting evidence for your case
• Complete your appeal form
• Liaise with the Home Office throughout the process
• Represent you at the full hearing before the tribunal
