New guidance and application forms for migrant workers and studen

Wednesday, 24th March 2010

The UK Border Agency has published revised guidance and application forms for migrants under Tiers 2 and 4 of the points-based system

We have also revised our guidance for the dependants of migrants who are in the UK under the points-based system.From today, applications to Tier 2 (for highly skilled workers) and Tier 4 (for adult and child students) should be made using the new forms, which are all marked 'version 02/10'.The application form for dependants has not changed.You can download the new application forms and guidance from the right side of this page.

Also from today, migrants who apply to Tier 4 must have a confirmation of acceptance for studies (CAS) from their education provider. CASs have replaced visa letters, which are no longer valid. If you want to apply to us as a Tier 4 student and you have a visa letter from your preferred education provider, you must ask them to assign a CAS to you. If you have already applied to us using a visa letter, your application will not be affected
