Work permits: New fee for technical changes of employment notifications
23 June 2009
On 29 June a fee of £20 will be introduced for the acceptance of technical change of employment notifications for work permit holders. This change was announced in the changes to the Immigration and Nationality (cost recovery fees) Regulations 2009, on 10 March 2009 and is to help the UK Border Agency recover its costs.
From 29 June, you must complete a notification of technical change of employment form, which can be downloaded from the technical changes of employment page, if you are an employer and you want to tell us of any change to the personal details of your employee, or make minor changes to other information we hold about you or your job. These could be a change of name on marriage, change of business address, or where both the employee and the specific job they were approved for move location.
If you need to make significant changes to the job, location or terms and conditions you will need to make a new application under the points-based system.
