Tier 1 (general) switch from work permit


We received a call from a panicked investment banker who was due to be made redundant the following week. He had been offered a new position in one of his friend's companies in London but the company did not possess a sponsor licence.

We prepared a tier 1 (general) application for the banker and arranged for him to travel to his home country. We booked a biometrics appointment for him and arranged for his tier 1 (general) visa to be approved within 24 hours. Our client commenced work with his friend the following week.
