After Brexit, the United Kingdom has implemented a new points-based immigration system that applies to EU and all other citizens from around the world (with the exception of Irish workers). If you are a UK employer and want to bring a worker to your company from the European Union or any other part of the world, you will need to comply with the immigration rules. Here are the steps you can take to bring a worker from the EU to the UK after Brexit:

1. Check if the worker meets the eligibility criteria: Under the new points-based system, workers need to meet certain eligibility criteria to be able to work in the UK. This includes having a job offer from a UK employer that meets the skill and salary requirements, as well as being able to speak English at a certain level.

Application process

2. If the worker meets the eligibility criteria, they will need to apply for a Skilled Worker visa to work in the UK. As an employer you will also need to apply for a Sponsor Licence to be able to sponsor the worker.
3. The worker will need to provide necessary documentation, such as a valid passport, proof of English language proficiency, and evidence of the job offer and salary level. The employer will also need to provide supporting documents, such as the Certificate of Sponsorship.
4. Comply with reporting and record-keeping requirements: As a sponsor, the employer will need to comply with reporting and record-keeping requirements, such as notifying the Home Office of any changes in the worker’s employment status and keeping records of the worker’s employment.

By following these steps and complying with the immigration rules, you can bring a worker to the UK from the European Union or any other country provided you meet the requirements and the worker meets the criteria. It is important to stay informed about any updates or changes to the immigration rules to ensure that you are following the law.
