United Kingdom Visas and Immigration (UKVI) Requirements

Criminal Records Certificates

The UKVI requires those applying to come to the UK as a Tier 2 worker, and their adult dependants, aged 18 or over, to produce a criminal record certificate from any country in which they have been resident for 12 months or more, consecutively or cumulatively, in the previous 10 years.

If applicants are successful in being appointed to a training programme in the UK, and require Tier 2 sponsorship, they will be required to provide the criminal record certificate to the UKVI when they make their visa application. As it can take some time to obtain a criminal record certificate, applicants should begin the process of seeking certificates, if required, at the earliest opportunity.  Please note, that this is for entry clearance applications only, so will only be applicable if applying from outside the UK.

Details of how to obtain such a check from the relevant authorities abroad is available on the UKVI website.

If the country concerned is not listed, please contact the relevant embassy or consulate for further details. Contact details can be found at the Foreign embassies in the UK web page.

Maintenance

Public bodies cannot offer to certify maintenance on the Certificate of Sponsorship (COS).  If applicants are successful in being appointed to a training programme in the UK, and require Tier 2 sponsorship, they will be required to provide evidence of maintenance (funds) to the UKVI when they make their visa application.

Full guidance can be found at GOV Skilled Worker visa page.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks (formally Criminal Record Bureau checks)

Successful candidates will be required to apply for a DBS check.
