"Starting 30 June 2008, the UK's new points based system, referred to as 'Tier 1 (General)', will go into effect for all individuals looking to immigrate to the UK as a general highly skilled migrant. On this date, it will completely replace the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP). In addition, three new sub-categories of Tier 1 will be introduced: Tier 1 (Investors), Tier 1 (Entrepreneurs), and Tier 1 (Post-Study Work)."
