What Is the Skilled Worker Visa?

The Skilled Worker Visa allows skilled professionals to work in the UK for licenced employers. Replacing the Tier 2 visa, this route has made it easier than ever for qualified individuals to secure roles in eligible occupations. Here’s what you need to know:
 
Duration: Granted for up to five years, depending on the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS).
 
Pathway to Settlement: After five years, you can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and later, British citizenship.
 
Eligibility: Open to professionals with skills at RQF Level 3 (A-level equivalent) or above in eligible occupations.
