Chartered Surveyors – UK Visa Applications

Recruiting qualified and experienced chartered surveyors in an increasingly competitive global market can prove a challenge for UK firms facing a UK labour force with serious skills shortages in STEM subjects.

The range of sectors chartered surveyors work across – including housing, commercial buildings, mining, marine, leisure and even digital mapping – means international recruitment of chartered surveyors can be a necessity.

However, restrictions on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visas under UK immigration law can prove a challenge to meeting business recruitment targets for chartered surveyors.

Duncan Lewis business immigration solicitors frequently advise companies on overseas recruitment of chartered surveyors working across all sectors – who are eligible to work in the UK under the regulations covering occupations skilled to NQF Level 6.

Duncan Lewis business immigration lawyers frequently advise companies and individuals on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applications – including advising on the recruitment of
recent overseas graduates who have qualified as chartered surveyors in the UK.

Any Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applicants can be sponsored for jobs in certain occupations – and the government has drawn up a list of eligible occupations for chartered surveyors wishing to apply for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa to take up a position in the UK.

UK Visas & Immigration regulations set out in the Codes of Practice for Skilled Workers such as chartered surveyors.

Under the regulations, the sort of roles within a company that would be eligible for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa application include:
 

• Building surveyor
• Chartered surveyor
• Hydrographic surveyor
• Land surveyor.

UK Visas & Immigration rules also set out the types of duties a chartered surveyor might undertake to qualify for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa, including:

• surveys, measures and describes land surfaces to establish property boundaries and to aid with construction or cartographic work
• surveys mines, prepares drawings of surfaces, hazards and other features to control the extent and direction of mining
• surveys buildings to determine necessary alterations and repairs
• measures shore lines, elevations and underwater contours, establishes high and low water marks, plots shore features and defines navigable channels.
