scotty dave Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I have been offered a job with 457 sponsorship, to be made permanent after 3 months satisfactory employment with the company. Is there a permanent visa that I can apply for that does not require an IELTS test when the time comes.? I am UK born bred and educated, but am dyslexic..apparently it costs an extra £400 for them to make allowance for this, or so I`ve heard. Can anyone advise please??

Native English speakers (UK passport) are not required to take IELTS for any visa I am aware of. The reason most do take IELTS, is because it is an easy way to make up points. Employer sponsored visas are not point based, so no IELTS. There is no GBP400 required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moss2oz Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I concur with what Rupert said. I only took the IELTS as I needed the extra points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chall Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm a teacher and can send a writing guide if you need? PM me with an e mail address if you like. A friend of mine did IELTs and they're dyslexic. They got extra time but no extra charge. Good luck with everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
