The new concept of scaling up UK Visa has been introduced recently . Here is how it will affect the UK Immigration Process and what are the benefits of the new concept that you can avail. Completely explained by OM INTERNATIONAL Best Visa Consultancy service provider in VADODARA, GUJARAT.
The UK Government has tried various schemes
in recent years to make it easier to bring in migrants that the economy needs.
However, the schemes have not all been successful. Many have turned out to be
too difficult and expensive for migrants and their employers. The Scale-up visa
may be worth considering in some situations as an alternative to the Skilled
Worker visa.
Scale-up visa only available to a
limited number of employers
Launched on 22 August 2022 the visa is only
available for a limited number of high growth employers:
• Needs to show either annualised turnover
or staff growth of 20% over the last three years.
• Needs to have had at least ten employees
at the start of the three-year period.
• The employer also needs to obtain a
sponsor licence.
There are various benefits to the
Scale-up Visa:
• The employee can work for any employer after
six months. The migrant can also be self-employed.
• There is no immigration skills charge.
For a company that has to pay the higher immigration skills charge.
• Seems to be much easier to obtain than
the Global Talent visa, which only a relatively small number of people qualify
for.
Problems with the Scale-up visa route:
• The employer still needs to have a
sponsor licence. This can be a complicated and time consuming process.
• For an employee that is in high demand
there is a risk that as soon as the six month period has ended the employee
will leave.
• The employee must be paid under PAYE for
six months; there is no flexibility to use what may be a more tax efficient
method of payment.
• The minimum salary is Euros 33,000 a year
which in many cases will be higher than the minimum salary that needs to paid
under the Skilled Worker visa route.
Will the Scale-up visa be a success?
There are a limited number of employers who
can apply for this scheme. Also, many employers may be worried that the
employee will leave after six months when able to work for any employer. It remains
to see how successful the new Scale- up visa scheme will be in practice. The
Scale-up Visa scheme is still expensive. The Government fees include GBP624 a
year, plus an immigration health
surcharge and GBP715 for the applicable visa fee, One major benefit may be that year.
Many rare people are likely to qualify for Scale-up. There is faster processing
of the I-JK visa - visa compared to the Global Talent visa application.
