Webinar: The new Skilled Worker visa route

04.11.2020

From 1 January 2021 when the UK’s new points-based immigration system commences, UK employers will no longer be able to freely recruit migrant workers from the European Union (EU).

Under the new points-based system, the Skilled Worker visa will replace the existing Tier 2 (General) visa as the main immigration route for migrants coming to the UK for work. This new route will open for non-EEA applicants from 1 December 2020, and on 1 January 2021 for EEA nationals.

Smith Stone Walters is delighted to present a brand new webinar session providing a brief overview of the new Skilled Worker route. In this brief presentation led by SSW Senior Account Manager Alastair Mason, we explain the key differences between the current Tier 2 (General) route and the new Skilled Worker route, and provide an update on the changes to immigration fees under this category.
