The Migration Advisory Committee has recently published their report into the list of occupations that are eligible for Tier 2 (General) visas – i.e. work visas sponsored by an employer.
This has resulted in the threshold level being increased from National Qualification Framework level 3 to graduate level.
Consequently, many occupations are no longer eligible for the Tier 2 (General) visa.
This doesn’t affect normal graduate level recruitment (or skilled occupations requiring a higher degree or extensive experience). However, employers need to be sure that the position they are offering matches an occupation on the revised list.
