The Skilled Worker visa permits non-UK nationals to reside and work in the United Kingdom within eligible skilled positions. It replaced the Tier 2 (General) work visa as the primary route for overseas professionals seeking employment in the UK.
This visa grants up to 5 years of residence and can lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) following 5 years of continuous lawful residence.
