Benefits of IT Consulting on a Tier 2 General Visa
There are many benefits to IT Consulting on a Tier 2 General Visa, including;
VARIED ASSIGNMENTS |
Tier 2 General is a relatively restrictive employer sponsored visa. Therefore if you secure sponsorship for an ‘in house’ role you may find that you are stuck in the same position for 5 years before securing ILR. For many progressive IT consultants this stagnation can be very depressing.Alternatively working for a Consultancy offers the chance to work on many varied client facing assignments where opportunities for development are plentiful. After 5 years you could have delivered 10 – 20 projects and command a salary far in advance of ‘in house’ rivals. |
MARKET LEADING REMUNERATION |
Project rates normally increase from assignment to assignment. A Consultant who starts off on a project rate of £300 per day may go on to deliver other assignments at £350, £450, £500+ per day etc.Personal remuneration normally increases in line with project billing value. |
EXTENSIVE EXPENSE POLICY |
Our Consultancy Partners have extensive expense policies which generally include;
|
LONG TERM TIER 2 WORK RIGHTS |
Tier 2 General Visas are normally approved for an initial term of 3 years however they may be extended for a further 2 years where further projects are in the pipeline |
The United Kingdom is fairly well stocked for highly skilled IT professionals however unofficial skill shortages do exist in certain technical skill and experience combinations. Where such high end shortages are present companies frequently turn to those from outside of the European Union to solve the problem, in which case a Tier 2 General Visa may be offered.
