Tier 5 – Temporary Workers
Applications that fall under this category, as suggested through the title of this visa, are for jobs available that do not threaten the resident labour force, nor is it applicable for those to wish to base themselves permanently for business. Instead, the role for which the applicant is applying must be considered ‘supernumerary’ (i.e. one that goes beyond the usual requirements of the sponsor and one that they would not normally be recruiting to fill). The purpose of this is to ensure that the applicant is not filling a vacancy that ought to be given to a settled worker.
As evidenced from the above, this route can be difficult to navigate as a result of what the applicant needs to evidence in order to be successful (detailed below). It is therefore necessary that you receive comprehensive advice regarding the requirements that you have to meet to ensure that your application stands the best chance of success. Our team of immigration solicitors across each of our London offices have years of experience in making these applications and will guide you through each stage of the application process.
