Under the points-based immigration system as announced by the the United Kingdom Government, anyone coming to the UK for work or higher studies must meet a prescribed set of requirements for which they will score points. Visas are only awarded to those who gain enough points, after considering other general aspects related to a person's eligibility to enter the UK.
The points-based system is designed to provide simple and easy to understand details to those who apply for the work visas or student visas for the UK.
The PBS Visa system will also help UK employers and education sponsors to understand the visa eligibility requirements to build an effective and flexible system.
Different routes will have different points requirements and how you can score the points. We have launched the points calculators for the Skilled Workers [link to calculator] and Students [link to calculator] on this site, so please visit relevant point calculator to find your score and eligibility.
Let us consider all Visa Routes falling under the new Points Based System
All the applicants under the Skilled Worker Route must score points under Mandatory Criteria as well as under Tradeable Points to meet the requirements for the route.
For the Skilled Worker route the applicant must score 50 points under mandatory criteria and 20 tradeable points to score total 70 points.
There will also be English Language requirement, TB Test (where applicable) and criminality checks apart from scoring points.
