New points required for tier 1 skilled visa


From 19 July 2010, there are two important changes for migrants who are applying to Tier 1 (General) of the points-based system for the first time, one of them is "an increase in the number of points required for a Tier 1(General) application, from 95 to 100."

Now points required for Tier 1 General/Skilled visa are 100 instead of 95.

From 19 July 2010, the number of points required for an initial Tier 1 (General) application has increased from 95 to 100. Additionally:
  • the points awarded to those with previous earnings of £150,000 have increased from 75 to 80; and
  • the points awarded to those who have an eligible MBA have increased from 75 to 80.


These changes will apply to all initial Tier 1 (General) applications paid for on or after 19 July 2010.

If you are in the UK in any other immigration category, such as Tier 1 (Post-study work), you will need to score 100 points when you apply to switch into Tier 1 (General).
