Skilled Worker Visa

The Skilled Worker Visa is an immigration route, designed for foreign nationals who have a job offer from a licensed employer in a skilled occupation, intended to allow individuals to live and work provided they meet certain eligibility requirements including holding an offer of employment in an eligible role under the visa criteria. It is one of the most common routes through which non-EU nationals come to fill in gaps for specific skills deficiencies. The Skilled Worker Visa is a vital source for companies looking to be able to employ skilled workers who are based abroad, addressing the deficit in the labor market. It covers many sectors, such as healthcare, engineering, technological skills, teachers, and more. It can also serve as a stepping stone to both long-term employment and to permanent residency, as individuals who are employed and meet other stipulations can apply for ILR after five years.
