What is the Points Based Immigration System (PBIS) and Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS)?
A non EEA or Swiss national will need to pass a points based assessment before being given permission to enter or remain in the UK and, if applying under Tier 2 or 5, will require a sponsor to do so. UCL will issue a CoS to an applicant with a job offer, or a sponsored researcher, when satisfied that there has been strict adherence to the sponsorship duties detailed by the Home Office UK Border Agency.
