New Eligibility services for UK Visa Applicants

Amongst the rounds of new laws and policies making their presence felt at the UK immigration scene, there is one more update for the Non European nationals. Non-European nationals looking to move to the UK are now required to use the new UK Visas and Nationality Service provided by NARIC in order to check that they are eligible to apply for a UK visa.

As per the existing rules, Up until 6 April 2016, the online points-based calculator operated on a cost-free basis and helped applicants to identify their eligibility to work or study in the UK under the Points-based System by looking at the level of their international qualifications. But now the system will be taken over by NARIC. The online service has recently closed, giving way to the   new UK Visas and Nationality Service provided by NARIC. The applicants will have to pay a fee to use the system in order to ascertain their eligibility.

The new service by NARIC will help to ascertain whether or not their academic qualifications and English language ability are valid in supporting their immigration application. Like the points-based calculator before it, this new service identifies and confirms the academic qualification levels and/or English-language proficiency level of each applicant.

Once it has been ascertained that a non-EEA national has the relevant academic and language levels to allow them to apply for the relevant UK visa, NARIC will provide proof of this for use in supporting their immigration application.

This new eligibility scale is believed to be successful and more result-oriented.
