Skilled Worker Visa
The Skilled Worker Visa allows employers to recruit non-UK resident workers for certain eligible, skilled roles if the UK Company has a sponsor license. In order to qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa, the job you are being sponsored must be an eligible job at or above a minimum skill level. Under the Skilled Worker Visa route, the role you are looking to fill must be skilled to at least RQF level 3. To obtain a Skilled Worker Visa, you must have a valid Certificate of Sponsorship for the job you are planning to do. Your Certificate of Sponsorship will need to have been issued by an employer that is authorised by the Home Office to sponsor the job in question under the Skilled Worker route. To be granted a Skilled Worker Visa you will need to satisfy the Home Office that you are being sponsored to undertake a genuine vacancy and you can undertake the role for which your Certificate of Sponsorship has been assigned.
- To qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa you must satisfy the following:
- Work for a UK employer that’s been approved by the Home Office
- Have a ‘Certificate of Sponsorship’ from your employer with information about the role you’ve been offered in the UK
- Do a job that is on the list of eligible occupations
- Be paid a minimum salary or the going rate for the job
- You must be able to prove that your English language ability is to at least level B1 as set by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
The exact requirements you will need to satisfy will vary depending on your circumstances.
