How To Migrate To UK From India

The United Kingdom or the UK is yet again emerging as one of the most prominent immigration destinations among citizens in India with an intention to live and work in the royal country.

Work Visa

IN UK

The UK is one of the World’s most popular immigration destinations for people wishing to live and work in a new country. However, the UK’s immigration system is restrictive.

You cannot apply for a work permit directly. Your employer in the UK will need to apply on your behalf. The length of your permit will depend on the type of work you do and the sort of permit granted. If you have already found a job in the UK and been accepted to work, or you have a visa but it prohibits you from working, you may need to obtain a work permit.

The work permit is for highly skilled and quality foreign workers who can add value to the growth and productivity of the UK. This visa category includes entrepreneurs, investors and exceptional talents.

Types of Employment Permit:

Tier 2 (General) Visa:
You can apply for a Tier 2 (General) visa if you have been offered a skilled job in the UK or you are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. You need to have a certificate of sponsorship from a licensed sponsor (i.e. potential employer) before you can apply to come to the UK to work, and the work you do in the UK must relate to the work of your sponsor organization.

Tier 1 (General) Visa:
You can apply to switch from your current visa to a Tier 1 (General) visa if you have permission to stay (‘leave to remain’) in the UK. You cannot apply for a Tier 1 (General) category visa if you are outside the UK, and you usually cannot switch to it from other immigration categories.

Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) Visa:
You can apply for a Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) visa if:
You have been endorsed as an internationally recognized leader or emerging leader in your field in science, humanities, engineering, medicine, digital technology, arts or you are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.

Representative of an Overseas Business visa:
You can apply to come to the UK as a representative of an overseas business if you’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland and you’re either:
The sole representative of an overseas company planning to set up a UK branch or a wholly owned subsidiary for an overseas parent company
An employee of an overseas newspaper, news agency or broadcasting organization posted on a long-term assignment to the UK

Domestic Workers in a Private Household Visa:
You can apply for a visa to visit the UK with your employer if you:

are from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland
are a domestic worker in a private household
have worked for your employer for at least 1 year
meet the other eligibility requirements
