Criminal record certificate (certain medical and health roles)
If your Confirmation of Employment records your job under one of a specific set of SOC codes (mainly medical, healthcare and related professions), you and your family members must provide a criminal record certificate from every country you've been resident in for 12 months or more over the last 10 years. If you can't get a certificate from a particular country, explain why in a letter at your biometric appointment.

Why applications on this route get refused
Missing documentation
The guidance notes state that missing documentation could result in your application being delayed or refused.
How to avoid it: Work through the Entry Clearance Requirements checklist and have all your supporting evidence ready before you apply online.
Invalid or expired Confirmation of Employment
If the expiry date stamped by the Immigration Service on your CoE has passed before you make your application, the CoE is not valid and the application doesn't meet the sponsorship requirement.
How to avoid it: Check your CoE's expiry date with your employer and apply before it passes.
Insufficient or unclear financial evidence
Not showing the required level of funds, held for the full 28 days, when your employer hasn't certified maintenance, doesn't meet the maintenance funds requirement.
How to avoid it: Check whether your employer will certify maintenance on your CoE; if not, make sure your bank statements clearly cover the required amount and time period.
Working arrangement looks like self-employment
You must not be self-employed or in an arrangement akin to self-employment, for example having the final say in the business, investing your own money in it, providing major equipment, or being free to hire others on your own terms. An arrangement that looks like this doesn't meet the route's requirements.
How to avoid it: Make sure your role and contract genuinely reflect employment by your Isle of Man employer, not running your own business through them.
Missing criminal record certificate for a qualifying medical or health role
If your CoE's SOC code is one that requires it and you don't provide the required criminal record certificates for you and your family members, this can lead to refusal.
How to avoid it: Check whether your occupation code requires a certificate, and apply for one from every qualifying country well before you apply.
