With my circumstances, I would JUST barely clear the 75 point minimum.
35 for having an MA
5 for the MA being done in the UK
20 for being under 28 at the time of application
15 for having a salary just over £20,000
_______________
75 points total.
So, as I understand it, I think I would be eligible for the Tier 1 category to get a visa. But, I was wondering about a couple things
-How long is that work visa good for?
-If I have to reapply again when it runs out, would it be an automatic renewal sort-of-thing, or would I have to requalify all over again for the points?
I would be over 28 at that point and so could not hit 75 points again without a significant salary increase (which unfortunately is very unlikely).
Any information would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!
