New immigration website

University HR Services has launched a new online resource providing information, advice and guidance on immigration issues.

The website is designed to reflect good practice in key areas and to highlight changes in new and existing legislation where appropriate.

Topics covered

The new site aims to be a useful resource for both hiring managers and prospective or existing employees.

The website provides information, news and template forms related to the following topics:

• checking eligibility to work in the UK
• points based immigration system and relevant tiers
• business and academic visitors
• UK visas
• working in the UK

Crucial for recruiting managers

Recruiting managers are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with the new and revised immigration website and the requirement to check eligibility to work in the UK for all employees before they commence work.

The new site will be updated on a regular basis to respond to legislative changes or new developments in immigration best practice.

Human Resources welcomes feedback on the new website.
