Just as the name suggests, a points based immigration system considers the areas of eligibility that one has for a particular visa application. This can be a complex process as it requires a clear view of what information is needed and is subject to ever-changing regulations. The benefits to the UK government are:
Put simply, anyone who is hoping to enter the UK via a visa must meet the criteria of the points based immigration system to be eligible for application. The UK government adopted this process in 2021 as a representation of the freedom of movement ending after the UK had left the European Union. This process, which was already adopted by certain territories, allows the UK borders a way to assess the suitability of anyone who wishes to be settled in the UK.
At My Immigration services, we are registered with a regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA). This means we operate with complete legal compliance and are also privy to the latest communications from the government regarding the points-based system. As a new method of approving visas, we expect the system to undergo further changes over the coming years. That is why you need an in-the-know immigration agency by your side. We can ensure your application is compliant with the latest requirements, helping you achieve a decision sooner.
The points based immigration system is relevant if you are applying for a work or study visa within any of the below categories:
You will need to score 70 or more points to be eligible for a successful application. These points are made up of a mandatory 50 points, which come from either the offer of work or to study. This must be supported by official organisations and documented by official correspondence.
The additional 20 points are then composed of a range of factors such as salary, other visa links, and the value the applicant will bring to the UK. Other contributing factors include qualifications, training, and the skills that an individual harnesses.
This is also only approved if the applicant has a strong level of English and if they can prove that they will be financially independent/contributing to tax when they are living in the UK.
Once you engage with My Immigration Services, the process is simple. We will run through all your application data and ensure you meet the requirements before an application is started. This is because we want you to stand the best chance of having a successful application. Your representative will then work with you to submit the online application and then keep an eye on the status of your request. If any amendments are needed, or additional information is required, we will manage this for you all under the initial price we quoted for your needs.
Depending on the visa style you are looking to apply for under the points systems, you will be looking to pay anywhere between £625 to £1423. It does not matter if this cost is being paid by yourself or if you are being sponsored if the amount is settled. You will also need to prove that you have enough funds to support yourself, though, so your own financial situation will be assessed.
Whilst the points-based system may seem simple; you don’t want to be wasting time on unsuitable applications. The process can become complex as lots of documentation and paperwork are needed to prove that an applicant is suitable. Further difficulties arise from timeframes and trying to get an approved visa in advance of when it is required.
