The UK Home Office is responsible for securing the UK borders and controlling migration in the United Kingdom. We manage border control for the UK, enforcing immigration and customs regulations. We also consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the UK, citizenship and asylum.
Disclaimer:
The UK Home Office wishes to authoritatively inform applicants seeking for Work status in the UK not to make any payments for processing of Work Permit, Visa / Visa renewal and/or Expatriate Quota Approval. Approval for entry (migration) into the UK is executed by the Nearest British Embassy or Consulate within the applicants country of residence or location after certification and issuance of supporting documents to the applicant by the UK Home Office as at the time of application. Applicants please apply for National Insurance Number and Work Scheme Card only.
The UK Home Office will exercise its full powers to perform its responsibility to regulate entry into the UK, by:
* Ensuring that the sponsor is financially capable to support the applicant entering the UK for Business or Pleasure throughout the duration of the validity of the Entry.
* Ensuring that the applicant, has the minimum stipulated financial requirement to earn the needed points for Entry/Work Approval, going by the new point-based system for immigration in 2014/2015
* Ensuring that the applicant is eligible to Live, Work and carry out business activities in the UK legally.
The new points-based system (PBS) is the biggest shake up of the immigration system for 45 years. Under the new system, Applicants will need to pass a points-based assessment before they receive National Insurance Number, Work Scheme Card and supporting paperwork for the UK. It will help UK businesses recruit the skills it needs from abroad and assure the British public that only the skilled migrants will need to come to the UK. The role of employees/migrants with qualifying financial base is crucial to its success.

The UK Home Office would ensure through this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed entry into the UK and a license to work.
