under review Work permit being incorrectly refused

[denv]

So in January 2022 had the following message about a work permit being rejected for a player

So in

 

 

I think this is a bug because:

- prior to the work permit being rejected, the player had the "settled" tag, which I understood to mean he was considered non-Foreign and wouldn't require a Work Permit until 1 January 2024. Now he has had the WP rejected, the "Set" tag has gone.

- the reasons for rejection include insufficient transfer fee and wages. This isn't correct for the FM21 post-Brext work permit rules, is it? Fee and wages are not criteria for the new points based system

- the text of the reason is wrong/doesn't make sense - "Submitting this offer with a wage of N/A or above would earn him enough points"

I have uploaded a save game with the name "Alessandro Denvir - Middlesbrough.fm" which is saved on the day before the WP is rejected.

Thanks for the feedback  and save game. 

This is an issue that we are working to improve.  

Cheers,

Hi. I just had this same problem... it gave me the exact same message ("Submitting this offer with a wage of N/A or above would earn him enough points") and it eventually allowed me to sign and register him anyway (I THINK). So was that message just a glitch and he DID in fact qualify for a work permit? I just want to know before I go on with the save that it's not going to set me back in the future. I can upload the save file if you need.
