How To Get A Valid Skilled Worker Visa?

The Skilled Worker visa permits qualified persons to enter the UK and work in an authorised job for an authorised sponsor. To prevent complications or difficulties with the application, whether you are a company trying to recruit a skilled worker from overseas or someone applying for a sponsored visa, it is crucial to know the Skilled Worker visa criteria and application procedures. As an expert UK immigration solicitor, we’ve compiled a detailed guide for you.

Everything You Need to Know About Skilled Worker Visa

Non-UK resident employers can use the Skilled Worker visa for specific skilled positions.

People who get 70 points by satisfying specified criteria such as pay and skill level, English language proficiency, and obtaining a valid work offer from a UK sponsor are eligible for the visa.

Requirement and Eligibility Criteria for Skilled Worker Visa

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

• Work for a Home Office-approved company in the UK
• You must provide a ‘certificate of sponsorship’ and its reference number from your company detailing the position you’ve been given in the UK
• You must be able to write, read, communicate and comprehend English.
• Proof that you have sufficient personal funds and savings to live in the UK
• A valid document or current passport proving your identification and citizenship, your work title, and your yearly income

• If your spouse and children are applying with you, you just need to provide evidence of their relationship with you.
• You must also have a blank page on your passport if you are living outside the UK or don’t have a biometric chip passport (for UK residents)
