Skilled Worker Visas
Supporting UK employers and skilled professionals with sponsor licence applications, compliance and visa management.
Overview
The Skilled Worker visa is the principal route for individuals who have a confirmed job offer from a UK employer holding a valid sponsor licence. It covers a wide range of roles and sectors across the UK economy.
To qualify, the role must meet minimum skill level and salary thresholds set by the Home Office. The visa can lead to settlement after a qualifying period, providing a clear pathway to long-term residence in the United Kingdom.
