Points-based immigration system:
The Home Office (of which UKVI is a part) is in charge of regulating how people from outside the EEA can work, train, or study in the UK.
A new points-based immigration system went into effect in January 2021, with components of it already in place by the end of 2020. If they match the eligibility conditions, the system allows both EEA and non-EEA nationals to work, train, or study in the UK.
The previous tiered structure has been mostly superseded by this points-based approach. Except for those from the Republic of Ireland and anyone who were already in the UK on December 31, 2020, it applies to everyone from outside the UK who aspires to live and work here.
A Tier 2 Health and Care Worker visa allows health and care workers to travel to or stay in the UK to work for the NHS, an NHS supplier, or in adult social care.
Applications are evaluated using a point system designed to admit only individuals whose skills would benefit the UK. The number of points required and how they are awarded vary depending on the category in which individuals apply, but they must reflect:
- A Job offer
- Skill level
- Language Competence
- Qualifications
- Other Criteria
Biometric residence permits
A biometric residence permit (BRP) is a card issued to foreign nationals that contains your biographic facts (name, date, and place of birth), ‘biometric information’ (fingerprints and digital facial image), and specifies your immigration status and entitlements while in the UK.
When an individual applies for a visa or immigration, they are automatically issued a BRP. In passports, a 30-day sticker or vignette is issued, enabling adequate time to go to the UK. You will have ten days after your arrival to collect your BRP from a post office branch, as specified in your decision letter.
Verification of identity checks is used in the NHS as part of the recruitment process to ensure that an identity is real and belongs to the person presenting it.
