The Skilled Worker route allows eligible individuals to work in the UK for an approved employer that holds a valid sponsor licence. This guide provides a general introduction to the route and should not be treated as personalised immigration advice.
To qualify, applicants typically need a job offer from a licensed sponsor, a role that meets the required skill and salary levels, and sufficient English language ability. Employers must assign a Certificate of Sponsorship and meet ongoing compliance duties.
Applications are usually submitted online, with supporting documents uploaded as required. Processing times vary and immigration rules change frequently. We recommend checking the latest Home Office guidance or speaking with an adviser about your circumstances.
