Points Calculator

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE POINTS CALCULATOR IS ONLY RELEVANT FOR APPLICANTS MAKING AN HSMP APPLICATION FROM OUTSIDE THE UK, EXCLUDING INDIA.

Applicants from India must use the new Tier 1 General Application. The UK Border Agency have provided a points calculator for this application on www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk. Unfortunately we are unable to assist with Tier 1 General applications being submitted from India.

By completing the Points Calculator, you can assess your own chances of gaining entry to the UK under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP). Just complete the form and your points score will be automatically calculated for you!

Please read the FAQs for more information. If you have questions regarding the points calculator, please complete our enquiry form.
