Migrate UK

Freedom of movement between the UK and EU ended on 1 January 2021 and the UK has introduced an immigration system that treats all applicants equally, regardless of where they come from.  The points-based immigration system now in place means that:

  • Anyone recruited from outside the UK, excluding Irish citizens, needs to meet certain requirements and apply for permission first.
  • Employers will need to have a sponsor licence to hire most workers from outside the UK. 

Employers should plan ahead before recruiting anyone from outside the UK as it may take time to complete the necessary requirements and are strongly advised to seek professional advice as a first step.

Migrate-UK specialise in providing corporate and individual immigration advice and offers free initial advice (15 minutes).  Their main services relate to the points-based system (PBS) sponsorship and compliance, as well as training HR departments of UK based organisations on required record keeping practices.
