Finance and Investment Analysts and Advisers – UK Visa Applications

Jobs for skilled and experienced finance and investment analysts and advisers have increased rapidly as the UK becomes a centre for the global financial services market.

However, international recruitment of finance and investment analysts and advisers can be hampered by UK employment and immigration law and restrictions placed on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visas.

Duncan Lewis business immigration solicitors can advise companies on overseas recruitment of finance and investment analysts and advisers, 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 corporate clients wishing to recruit finance and investment analysts and advisers from overseas on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applications – as well as advising on recruiting recent overseas graduates who have qualified 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 finance and investment analysts and advisers 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 finance and investment analysts and advisers.

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:

• Financial adviser
• Financial analyst
• Financial consultant
• Mortgage adviser
• Pensions consultant.

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