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 listed among eligible occupations
  • Your salary must meet the minimum threshold (typically £38,700, with exceptions for shortage occupations)
  • You must demonstrate the required English language proficiency

Our Services

Application Review & Submission

We review your application and supporting documents, ensuring full compliance with immigration rules before submission to the Home Office. Our meticulous approach minimises the risk of errors that could delay or jeopardise your application.

Sponsor Licence Support for Employers

If you are an employer looking to hire skilled workers from overseas, we can assist with your Sponsor Licence application and help you understand your ongoing compliance obligations under the points-based immigration system.

Dependants & Family Applications

We provide visa support for spouses, partners, and children of Skilled Worker visa holders, ensuring your family can join you in the UK without unnecessary complications.

Legal Advice on Refusals

If your application has been refused, we can advise you on the best course of action, whether that involves re-application with strengthened evidence or pursuing an administrative review or judicial review.
