Categories of Non-MEWP Work Permits before Nov 2008 ?

[sphinx5]

Hi , Could somebody tell me what were the categories of Non-MEWP Work permits before nov 2008? I know that the Points based Tier system started post Nov 2008, but before that, were there any sub categories of WP - Like General / ICT etc ?

Thanks a lot Manci for sharing that link. Have gone thru it - Looks like there was no category called as 'Intra company transfer' during that time . This is what I was trying to look for.

Basically was trying to check what UKBA exactly meant in their Tier 2 ICT Settlement requirements point d(ii) when UKBA states that - applicant should be - a Qualifying Work Permit Holder, provided that the work permit was granted because the applicant was the subject of an Intra-Company Transfer

Lookint at the document you shared, Am I correct to infer that this statement means - the Applicant should have a qualifying WP which was granted because the Applicant was being transferred from overseas branch to UK Branch?

You will find the definition of "Qualifying Work Permit Holder" in this document:

Thanks for sharing the link Manci, Regards to d(ii), I have now understood the meaning of the term 'A qualifying WP holder' , but I havent yet understood the meaning of term 'Applicant was the subject of an Intra company Transfer'

Does it only mean that - 'Applicant was transferred from Overseas branch to its UK Branch' - or is there any thing more to it, Considering at that time , before Nov 2008 , there probably was no particular ICT category for WPs ( based on the document you shared initially). Or Was there one.

To put it simply , Is it correct to assume that - An applicant who was 'a qualifying WP holder', and was also 'transferred from a company's overseas branch to its UK Branch' - would satisfy the requirement mentioned in point d(ii) ?
