Tier 2 Or Tier 5? General Or Ict Migrant? What Does It Mean To Be Sponsored To Work In The UK?

The United Kingdom; an attractive country that is known for enhancing careers and prospects for people who are seeking jobs. Indians form the largest ethnic minority in the United Kingdom because of these relocation habits.

Work visas for immigration to the UK come in a variety of sponsored and unsponsored formats. Indian nationals typically choose job offers that come with sponsored visas to make immigrating and settling into the country easier.

Before understanding the type of sponsored visas, it is crucial to understand the nature of sponsorships.

What is a sponsorship?

A sponsorship enables an individual to move to the UK for work or study based on their qualification and interest. The employer should be entirely interested in the candidate and willing to give a sponsored visa to have them enter the UK for the job.

It is given with these principles:

The companies or institutions that give out sponsorships should not misuse their benefits. They need to make sure that only deserving candidates are allowed to be a part of it.

People who apply for sponsored visas need to be eligible to work or study at the mentioned company. The company should also be keen on hiring the said candidate completely.

A sponsorship serves as a UK work permit visa which permits the individual to come to the UK and work based on two clauses:

It is proof that the immigrant is taking up a genuine vacancy in the company, which failed to be filled by qualified people from within the country.

The sponsorship also serves as a guarantee that the employer would assume full responsibility for the migrant's sponsorship.

The employer must be licensed to offer sponsorship and employment. For such an organization, it is mandated to have a proof of sponsorship or the Certificate of Sponsorship. For a license application:

Understanding tier 2 and tier 5 visa

The Tier 2 and Tier 5 UK work permit is quite different in many aspects.

A tier 2 visa is usually gained by skilled workers through these ways.

General visa: This visa is for skilled workers with a graduate degree and got offered a position at the graduate level in a company. An employer can give a UK tier 2 general visa to individuals seeking employment at a graduate level.

Intra Company Transfer: ICT is usually related to MNCs that need to transfer employees from their Indian branch to the one in the UK. The transfers can be long-term, short-term, trainee, or transfer based on skills.

Tier 5 visa is given out for temporary workers. These workers make up the creative and sporting route, religious workers, charity and government-authorized exchanges or international agreements.

The major difference between tier 2 and tier 5 visas is that tier 2 visa is given to skilled workers to take up a job in the UK, while tier 5 visas is for limited-time workers. These categories are crucial due to different rules and work options. Before you begin the UK visa process, get an idea about how long you will have to stay in the country and the nature of your work. This will help to apply for the right category of UK job visa.

Youth mobility scheme

Youth Mobility Scheme is a type of immigration route for people from outside the UK to move to the country. It gives them a chance to experience the state-of-the-art amenities and lifestyle offered by the UK in person.

Anyone above the age of 18 can apply for visas under this scheme and stay in the UK for up to 2 years. The tier 5 visas are replaced by this scheme as T5 is a temporary program. When you apply for a visa, Indians between the age group 18 to 30 can apply via the Youth mobility scheme and can work without sponsorship too. They approve approximately 3000 migrants from India to the UK under this scheme.

Although migrants are not permitted to bring dependents, they will have the right to settle. The two years allotted can seek skilled jobs, and then the individual may apply for a skilled work visa for a more permanent position. The skilled work visa or tier 2 visa comes with a sponsorship.

Eligibility for a Youth mobility scheme

Applicants must belong to the age group 10 to 30.

Applicants must have valid citizenship from their native country.

Indian applicants are required to have a bachelor’s degree or above, with 3 years of work experience from a UK-recognized company.

Applicants should have no one financially dependent on him/her.

A person can only move to the UK once through the scheme.

Logistics UK calls for 10,000 temporary visas for EU drivers

Logistics UK is calling on the UK government to grant 10,000 temporary work visas so that EU drivers can return to work in the UK’s supply chain. It says the move would help to keep retailers, schools and other businesses stocked with the goods they need.

  The organisation’s analysis of the second quarter ONS Labour Force Survey found that 14,000 EU HGV drivers left UK driving jobs in the year to June 2020, and only 600 had returned by the end of June.

  Alex Veitch, general manager of public policy at Logistics UK, says short-term visas are now necessary to protect the UK economy. “The EU workers who left the UK in the year ending June 2020, ahead of Brexit, were critical to the supply chain’s resilience,” he says, “and we are now starting to see the impact that their departure has had on supplies to businesses, retailers, homes and schools. The industry is working hard to recruit new drivers, with the implementation of new apprenticeships and other training schemes, and working with DVSA to speed up its testing regime, but these measures will take some time to produce new drivers. Our industry needs drivers now, and we are urging government to replicate its temporary visa scheme, introduced for agricultural workers, for logistics to keep trucks and vans moving in the short term.”

  The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme enabled up to 30,000 individuals to come to the UK on a so called T5 visa to work in agriculture for up to six months, and Logistics UK is pressing government to replicate the scheme for logistics workers. Currently, eight different short term work visa schemes are in place, for including for creative, sports and religious employees, as well as seasonal workers, but none can be used for HGV drivers.

  “Logistics is facing a long term shortage of staff, which has been made much worse by the loss of our EU workforce,” says Veitch. “While we wait for new recruits to complete their training, which can take up to nine months, the logical solution would be to introduce a temporary visa scheme to keep the vehicles moving. After all, there is no point in picking and packing food if there is no one available to move it to buyers.”

  The call from Logistics UK follows a series of warnings about delays to home deliveries and shortages on supermarket shelves as a result of shortage both of HGV drivers and of delivery drivers.

  Courier Hermes UK recently launched an apprenticeship scheme to address the shortage of delivery drivers by training up LGV drivers. So far 45 employees have signed up to the 12 month scheme that enables them to get a Category C license and drive an LGV.

  Staff taking part train at the Hermes Driving Academy in Nuneaton one day a week and can then interview for a driving job at the company once qualified.

  John Walker, transport manager (Maidstone) at Hermes UK, says: “The latest survey from the RHA estimates there is now a shortage of more than 100,000 drivers in the UK. Our LGV apprenticeship programme is designed to help alleviate this industry wide challenge by allowing any one of our non-driving based employees to gain their Class 2 LGV licence. It won’t cost them a penny and they will be given paid time off during their current job for the practical and theory studying elements.”
