Under Tier 5 (Temporary Worker), you must score:
- 30 points for possessing a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (Appendix A of the Immigration Rules); and
- 10 points for Maintenance (Funds) (Appendix C of the Immigration Rules).
In assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship, the sponsor will have guaranteed that:
- you are qualified to do the job in question;
- you will only work at the specified location(s), except where working under the supplementary employment provisions;
- they will accept the responsibilities of sponsorship for you;
- where applicable, they will support you through funds and/or accommodation that are sufficient for you to maintain yourself throughout the duration of the Certificate of Sponsorship. If you are unable to support yourself, you could face financial hardship because you will not have access to most state benefits;
- you will not be displacing or denying an employment opportunity to a suitably qualified member of the resident labour force; and
- you will comply with the conditions of your permission to stay and will leave the United Kingdom when it expires.
