Work permits

ACCA's involvement in work permits has ceased from 27 November 2008. The Home Office no longer accepts TWES forms; employers must apply to become a licensed sponsor under a tiered, points-based system in order to allow an individual to work in the UK.

Further information and an online application process can be found on the UK border agency's website opens in a new window. Guidance can also be sought from the UK Border Agency information line on: 0114 207 4074.

Update 04/09: The UK is introducing a new points-based system for immigration similar to the system used in Australia. ACCA UK has produced a guide for ACCA employers, ACCA training institutions and international ACCA members and students wishing to work in the UK. The technical update is available as a 'related document' (see left)
