Leave Of Absence Requirement Change In UK Tier 2 Visa Category

Since April 06, 2016 there has been an important change in reporting requirements for Tier 2 'skilled workers' to the UK.

The United Kingdom employs a point-based 5 tier visa system for migrants from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to come to the UK to work, study, invest or train.

The system separates applicants into five 'tiers'. In order to be eligible for a visa in any of the five tiers you must pass a points-based assessment. In work visa applications, points are generally awarded according to the applicant's ability, experience and age.  You must reach a points score above a minimum threshold if your application is to be successful. The minimum number of points required varies for each tier.
