Skilled Worker Visa Application

We assist employers and individuals with Skilled Worker visa applications. Whether you're sponsoring a new hire or applying for your own visa, our expert solicitors are here to support you at every step.

What is a Skilled Worker Visa?

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.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a Skilled Worker visa, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Have a confirmed job offer from a licensed UK sponsor
  • The role must be an eligible occupation. For new applications made from 22 July 2025 this normally means a degree-level (RQF 6) role, unless the job is on the Temporary Shortage List
  • Your salary must meet the general threshold of £41,700 a year or the going rate for the job, whichever is higher (lower thresholds apply in some cases, such as new entrants)
  • You must demonstrate the required English language proficiency
