The Government is introducing a new, points-based immigration scheme consisting of five different tiers of workers. For each tier, applicants will need sufficient points to obtain entry or leave to remain in the UK.
The new system is being phased in tier by tier, with a revised Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) commencing on 5 December 2006. Under the new rules, applicants now require a minimum of 75 points to qualify for the HSMP.
For further information on the new rules, see the Home Office website at
