Points Based System
The points-based system is the biggest shake-up of the immigration system for 45 years. The system replaces over 80 existing routes to work and study in the United Kingdom with five tiers. The system allows British businesses to recruit the skills they need from abroad while providing assurances to the British public that only those migrants we need will be able to come to the UK.
