Skilled Worker Visa

The Skilled Worker Visa allows individuals to live and work in the UK with a job offer from an approved UK employer who holds a sponsorship license. This visa is aimed at those with the skills needed for roles in sectors facing shortages or requiring specific expertise. Applicants must meet certain criteria, including a minimum salary threshold, appropriate skill level, and proficiency in the English language.

Timelines

  1.  Job Offer and Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS): Obtain a CoS from your UK employer.
  2. Application Submission: compile, prepare and submit your Skilled Worker Visa application online.
  3. Processing Time: Typically, visa processing takes around 8 weeks, though it can vary.
  4. Visa Duration: If approved, you can stay in the UK for the duration specified in your visa (up to five years).
