Highly Skilled Migrant Programme

A practical alternative

One of the most popular UK immigration categories is the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP). It is designed for high achievers (in any field) and young professionals with good potential.

The HSMP is a practical alternative for both employer and employee. Candidates do not need a prior job offer in order to have their application considered by the Home Office’s points scheme.

For further information on the points system, refer to the how it works section.
