Immigration - Shortage Occupation List for Tier 2

The Government has accepted in full the recommendations of the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) for a revised shortage occupation list for Tier 2 of the points-based system of immigration. The new list applies to all certificates of sponsorship assigned on or after 14 December 2009. Applications based on certificates of sponsorship assigned before this date will be considered against the shortage occupation list in operation at the time.

The MAC is intending to review all entries on the revised shortage occupation list by autumn 2010, except for entry 3415, which relates to musicians. This will be reviewed by spring 2010.

The revised list can be found here.
