The Home Office has updated the Tier 2 and 5 sponsor guidance document, which provides information on sponsoring migrants under Tiers 2 and 5 of the Points-Based System. The new guidance takes effect from 16 July 2018.
Some of the key changes that have been introduced include:
Introduction of an additional ground for revocation in respect of sponsors reasonably believed to have artificially inflated the salary of a migrant worker applying for indefinite leave to remain
The extension of the ‘cooling-off’ period to sponsors who withdraw an application during or following an investigation which would have likely led to that application being refused
The inclusion of doctors and nurses to the list of people to whom an unrestricted certificate of sponsorship may be assigned
The removal of transitional controls on Croatian workers
Replacement of Universal Jobmatch with Find a job in the context of undertaking the residential labour market test
