The UK Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) is an excellent UK immigration category for entry to the UK for successful people with sought-after skills. It is in some ways similar to the skilled migration programs for entry to Australia and Canada.

The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme will be replaced by General Highly Skilled Migrants sub-category of Tier 1 - part of the UK's new points based system. For first time applicants, it is recommended to apply as soon as possible under the current HSMP to take advantage of its easier requirements before it is replaced in April for Indian applicants and in summer 2008 for the rest of the world. If you are looking to extend your leave to remain with your current HSMP visa, you will be required to qualify under the new Tier 1 rules.

You will need to obtain a minimum of 75 points from the following 5 scoring areas:

• Points for age if you are under 32 years of age.
• Educational qualifications (including MBA Provision)
• UK degree level or professional level qualification
• Previous Earnings
• UK work experience
