About the HSMP
The UK government runs a programme to allow individuals to
seek entry to work in the United Kingdom without having a
prior offer of employment.
This
programme is a new way of allowing individuals to migrate to
the United Kingdom. It aims to provide an individual
migration route for highly skilled persons who have the
skills and experience required by the UK to compete in the
global economy
The
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) has been very
successful since it was introduced on 28 January 2002.
