How the Tier Visa Operates in the UK

The Tier Visa is a UK immigration system for migrants with desirable professional skills, skilled workers with a job offer, temporary or low skilled workers, students and youth mobility schemes / temporary workers. Tier Visas are categorized from 1 to 5.

It is advisable for any applicant to know exactly what he or she wants to do in the UK and understands the requirements clearly before applying for any Tier Visa. By way of example, for any person who wants to apply for Tier 2 Visa, they must prove beyond doubt to the UK authority that there is nobody in the European Union who cannot do the kind of job is he or she is applying for instead, if the visa applicant is not from the European Union themselves. By knowing the type of Tier Visa to apply for will help the applicant avoid disappointment.

Tier Visa holders should bear in mind that just being a Tier Visa holder does not automatically guarantee British citizenship, when applying you will need to have been living in the UK for some time to prove to the UK government that you are person of integrity and good character. This is because if they find out that the Tier Visa holder is ‘misbehaving’ in their country the person is liable to deportation to his or her country of origin.

The Tier Visa was introduced recently to make the process of application for any category of the visa easier and also to reduce chances of cheating especially by illegal immigrants, who enter UK without permission.
