New visa rules good news for South Africans looking for work in the UK

The UK Home Office has announced that it will henceforth no longer include doctors and nurses in the cap on the Tier 2 Visa cap.

This is according to immigration consultants Breytenbachs, which notes that every month, since December 2017, the monthly quota for the Tier 2 Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) was reached.

“Many UK businesses that applied for Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to employ non-EU workers were not able to obtain the CoS they require,” it said.

“When a CoS is not issued, the employing company subsequently has to wait for the next monthly round of allocations of the Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship. Furthermore, it is not only a waiting game, but they have to lodge a new CoS application for consideration each month to be considered,” it said.

“The implication was a growing shortage of staff at the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, as well as a negative impact on other sectors in the UK econom

Die Suid-Afrikaanse renjaer Stuart “Stuwie” White het die afgelope naweek een van die wedrenne in die Franse Formule Vier in België gewen en het nou sy oog op die algehele titel.

Ellis Park thriller:- Boks beating their visitors England

The Springboks got back to winning ways with victory over England in an enthralling Test at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday, beating their visitors 42-39.

Having gone down to Wales in Washington DC last weekend, new Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus picked up his first success at the helm thanks to a stunning fightback after the Boks had gone 24-3 behind with less than a quarter of the match having been played.

In addition to Farrell’s three conversions, Daly added a penalty from in excess of 60m out which gave Eddie Jones’ side a 21-point advantage which left the home crowd stunned.

Voormalige Cheeta Heelagter Coenie van Wyk wil uitdraf vir Japan in WB
