Solutions for UK Based Agencies:
Tier 2 (Work Permit) Sponsorship
We partner with OISC Registered Immigration Firms & Tier 2 Licensed Healthcare & IT Consultancies. We can help whether you are looking to:- Help your Client become Tier 2 Licensed, OR
- Outsource a Project to a Tier 2 Licensed Consultancy (who is prepared to ‘sponsor’ a Tier 2 where required)
European Solutions
Do you have a Contract in Germany, The Republic of Ireland, Belgium or the Netherlands? Are you looking to assign a Consultant on a Tier 1 visa to the project? If so we may be able to provide a solution.
Note: Consultants cannot work in Europe of Schengen Visas
Immigration Compliance
There have been more changes to UK Immigration since the turn of the century than the whole of the 20th Century put together! Our OISC Immigration Partners can ensure you stay compliant with the latest rules & regulations, provide unique solutions & help your business adapt to an ever changing landscape.
Solutions for Expat Consultants:
Tier 1 Umbrella
A Tier 1 (HSMP) approval is initially valid for 3 years, although a 2 year extension is available. In order to secure the extension a consultant must have been using an appropriate structure to deal with contract income!
Many Consultants fall into the trap of using a Contractor Limited Company (Personal Service Company) or standard Umbrella Company & then find that contract income doesn’t qualify for a Tier 1 extension. At Commonwealth Contractors we can help to ensure that your Consultants put the most ‘back in their pockets’ while also ensuring Tier 1 qualification!
Tier 1 Applications / Extensions
Our OISC Immigration Partners specialise in dealing with Tier 1 Applications & Extensions. Commonwealth Contractors is the only organisation to offer a comprehensive contracting & application / extension solution.
Tier 2 (Work Permit) Sponsorship
Many highly skilled consultants no longer qualify for a Tier 1 visa due to the minimum Masters Degree requirement introduced in April 2009.
At Commonwealth Contractors out Consultancy Partners may be prepared, where required, to sponsor skilled Consultants & assign them to client facing assignments. A Tier 2 visa can be a great alternative to a Tier 1 (HSMP) visa!
Tier 5 Umbrella
Australians & New Zealanders on Tier 5 visas (formerly Working Holiday Visas) want to do one of two things:
- (1) To work towards a future Tier 1 or Tier 2 Visa application, OR
- (2) To maximise Project Income for 2 years and then go home
Contractor Limited Companies
Expat Consultants should only use Contractor Limited Companies (Personal Service Companies) in certain circumstances.
Commonwealth Contractors can assess a Consultant’s circumstances and provide comprehensive advice. If a Consultant wishes to go into business with a Limited Company our Chartered Accountant Partners can help!
