1,531 UK Tier 2 Visa Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship Available for Allocation in November - DNU Tv

Following the latest Tier 2 visa allocation meeting, the number of Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) available for November, 2017 stands at 1,531 – now the lowest figure in 2017 - according to UK Visas and Immigration data. The department published its October report citing that its figures were correct as of 23 October, 2017.

An employer with a Tier 2 Sponsorship Licence needs to apply for restricted Certificates of Sponsorship for immigrants they wish to employ who are currently living outside the UK. Under the current UK Visa system, unused Tier 2 restricted CoS to employ people who are currently based outside the UK can be reclaimed after three months. This increases the availability of restricted CoS used.

The October Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship allocation meeting took place on 11 October, 2017. All valid applications lodged by 5 October were successful, provided they scored 21 points or more.

The breakdown of Tier 2 CoS for the month of October looks like this:
