T5 Seasonal Worker
In order to sponsor a migrant worker within a specific category, an organisation needs to hold a licence for that category. Where categories have changed, licences held under the old categories automatically changed to the new ones in December 2020. Organisations can apply to add other tiers to an existing licence.
Most of these categories existed under the old Points-Based System and still operate in largely the same way. However there have been significant changes to the Skilled Worker category.
Q5: What has changed with the Skilled Worker category?
There are five major difference between the old Tier 2 (General) category and the new Skilled Worker category which has replaced it.

The ending of visa-free travel for artists threatens the livelihoods of many musicians, especially in the underground.

The recent rejection of a visa-free work permit for touring UK-based artists and industry professionals in Europe, either by the hand of the UK government, or by the EU (depending on which account you trust), is a significant blow to countless workers, many of whom are already facing challenging times under the COVID-19 pandemic.
