The HSMP, or Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, is a UK visa program for non-UK citizens. The HSMP allows visa holders to skip the usual work permit process and does not require a person to have a job lined up first.
With the HSMP you get a two year visa to live in the UK. The HSMP is renewable for another three years after the first two years are up, then you can apply for permanent residency after five years. You also don't need a work permit when you find a job if you already have an HSMP.
The HSMP is a points-based visa. It takes into consideration your skills, academic and work experience, age, past income and English language skills and awards you points for each category. If you meet the requisite number of points, you get an HSMP visa.
There are no quotas on the number of HSMP visas given out, so if you qualify for one, you get it.
