Skilled Worker Visa
The Skilled Worker visa (previously known as the Tier 2 (General) visa) is a visa sponsored by the employer. It is designed to enable skilled workers to come to the UK with a local job offer to work in the UK and fill a gap in the UK labour market.
The main requirements to be met are as follows:
- The applicant must have a genuine job offer from an organisation based and set up in the UK with a licensed sponsor.
- The role is a genuine vacancy.
- The role must be at the required skill level (RQF level 3 or above).
- The applicant will be paid the appropriate salary for that role.
- The applicant must satisfy the English language requirement.
