What is a UK Skilled Worker Visa?

The Skilled Worker Visa allows international workers to live and work in the UK in eligible skilled roles with an approved UK employer. This visa type is aimed at skilled professionals, such as engineers, healthcare workers, IT specialists, and many other roles, and allows them to contribute to the UK economy while gaining valuable work experience. A Skilled Worker Visa can be granted for up to five years, with the possibility of extending or transitioning to permanent residency.

Eligibility Requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa

To qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa, applicants must meet specific criteria, including:

• Job Offer from a UK Employer: You must have a confirmed job offer from a UK employer who holds a valid sponsorship licence. The job must be in an eligible occupation that meets the skill level and salary requirements.
• Skill Level Requirement: The job must meet the minimum skill level of RQF level 3 or equivalent (equivalent to A-level qualifications in the UK), and you must have the necessary qualifications or experience to perform the role.
• Salary Requirement: The salary for the role must meet the minimum threshold for Skilled Worker Visas, which is typically £26,200 per year or the “going rate” for the specific occupation, whichever is higher. Some exceptions apply for shortage occupations or new entrants.
• English Language Requirement: You must demonstrate your proficiency in English, usually by passing an approved English language test or holding a degree taught in English.
• Financial Requirement: You must show that you have sufficient funds to support yourself upon arrival, or your employer may certify this requirement on your behalf.
