PBS Tier 2 General Skilled Worker Visas

This guidance is for applicants who are resident outside the United Kingdom. It explains what you need to do if you are a highly skilled person wishing to come to the United Kingdom (UK) with a job offer under Tier 2 (Skilled Worker) of the Points Based System. You must have both a sponsor and a valid Certificate of Sponsorship before applying.

Provided that you can show that you have the specified amount of funds available prior to the date of your application you do not have to show that it has been in your bank account for a minimum period of three months. You must still submit supporting evidence using one of the forms specified. If you do not have sufficient funds or do not provide the necessary evidence your application will be refused.

You must be able to demonstrate that you have funds to support yourself and any dependants. For the main applicant this is £800.00 and you will need a further £533 for each dependant accompanying you. These can either be your own funds or you’re a rated sponsor can certify that he/she will be responsible for your maintenance and also for your dependants.

If you are using your own funds the money must be held in your personal bank account for a minimum period of 3 months for which you must show bank statements/other evidence immediately preceding and dated no more than 1 month prior to the date you submit your application. The balance should not fall below the required minimum at any time during the 3 month period. If your sponsor is certifying your maintenance you must provide written evidence of this for both yourself and your dependants.
