NZ Contractor

[ANZUK]

Hi I am a senior IT project management consultant from New Zealand. Currently in the UK for approx. 15 months working under Tier 2 general visa. I have been recently offered contract work by another company who doesn't have certificate of sponsorship. I was wondering if any of you out there may know of a company that can provide sponsorship so I can take on this opportunity?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe that only the company that you are providing the work for can sponsor a visa for you

If you look on the immigration jobs boards, people there will tell you about umbrella companies who can sponsor the Tier 2, for a substantial chunk of money.

This may help explain Tier 2 Sponsorship and Umbrella Companies - All Umbrella Companies Are Equal

Rules have been tightened up very recently.

An applicant must not be:

1. An agency worker, hired to a third party to fill a position with
them, whether temporary or permanent, regardless of any contract
between the sponsor and any employment agency or employment business.
2. Contracted to undertake an ongoing routine role or to provide an
ongoing routine service for the third party, regardless of the length
of any contract between the sponsor and another party
