| Highly skilled workers | Tier 1 (General) |

We will begin taking appointments for these categories from 2 March 2009. (The appointments will be for 6 April onwards.)
Application forms and guidance for Tiers 1, 2 and 5 of the points-based system are available in the Working in the UK section of this website.
