Days back it was very tough to get a tier 1 visa in United
Kingdom as there were very strict norms. But these days getting a tier 1 visa
can be real ease. The basic requirement
for being eligible for tier1 visa is to be a citizen of common wealth countries.
Check out Wikipedia for the list of common wealth countries. It is also very
important to be fluently English spoken. You should have a bank account and
2800$ for yourself and 1,600 $ for each one dependent travelling. You will have to fill up a form. After which
you will be gone through a biometric scan.
A person who gets a tier 1 visa is free to work throughout United
Kingdom. The duration for tier 1 visa is 2 years, which can be extended for up
to 3 year depending on certain norms. For people who don’t meet above stated requirements
of getting tier 1 visa, can apply through British high commission.
Most of the people who apply for tier 1 visa, arrive United
Kingdom to work in different fields and parts of the country. It is not
required that a person applying for tier 1 visa should be appointed to job
before arrival. It is also seen that people having those visas in which
job/work is not allowed, work for very low salary. Also it is not legal to work
if you are not permitted to do so. A tier 1 visa allows you to work in legitimate
way resulting in better salary according to norms and other employee benefits
too.
