UK Visa: Tier 1 and 2 changes come into effect

New Tier 1 and 2 rules are introduced recently. On 23 November 2010 the UK Government announced plans to reform Tiers 1 and 2 of the points-based system. This included introducing a Tier 2 limit, a new exceptional talent category, limited to 1,000 visas in 2011/12, and making changes to the investor and entrepreneur routes. The government subsequently published a statement of intent on Tier 1 and Tier 2, explaining how these plans would be implemented.
