Submitting & Processing your application
Submit - When you have completed all parts of your online application form, click on the 'Submit' button.
Payment - You will be taken automatically to the secure online payment site. You must pay your registration fee online by credit / debit card or arrange payment with UKCHIP before your application can be processed.
Sponsor - Your sponsor will be contacted and asked to confirm their support for your application. Please ensure your sponsor is aware and available to respond to this request before you submit your form.
Assessment - Your application is sent to one of the UKCHIP assessors to determine whether you meet the criteria of the level you have applied for. If the assessor declines your application or feels it is borderline, it will be referred to a second assessor. We may also contact your referee or give you the opportunity to provide more information.
We normally aim to process applications within 28 days, as long as your registration fee is paid and your sponsor has confirmed your application.
