The UK Border Agency has published an addition to the policy guidance for Tier 2 of the points-based system (version 04/10).

This clarifies the length of the permission to stay in the UK that may be given to all Tier 2 applicants, except those applying under the Graduate trainees and Skills transfer sub-categories of Tier 2 (Intra company transfer).

You can download the policy guidance, which contains the new information as an addendum at the front of the document, from the right side of this page.
