United Kingdom work visa
Planning to work for a UK employer? We help you understand the Skilled Worker visa, sponsorship and application preparation.
The pathway
The Skilled Worker visa is for an eligible job with an approved sponsor. Applicants must meet applicable job, salary and English language requirements. Check current rules with the UK government.
Employer and documents
Confirm the role and certificate of sponsorship with the licensed employer. Applicants generally also need a passport, evidence of English language ability and other documents depending on their circumstances.
After approval
Check your visa status, work restrictions and renewal requirements, as well as arrangements for eligible family members. Before changing employer or role, check whether you must update your visa.
