The Skilled Worker visa is for eligible workers who have a job offer from a UK employer approved by the Home Office. The employer must assign a Certificate of Sponsorship and the role must meet the relevant occupation and salary requirements.
This route can be used by applicants applying from outside the UK or by eligible applicants switching from another UK visa category.
Before applying, the job title, occupation code, salary, hours, sponsor licence details and start date should be checked carefully.
Skilled Worker applications require an exact match between the job’s real duties and the assigned Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code, compliant contracted hours and verifiable employer sponsorship details—mismatches routinely trigger genuine vacancy queries or CoS refusals.
We can check the job and salary requirements, review the Certificate of Sponsorship, prepare the visa application and advise on dependant applications.
Whether switching in-country, extending, changing employer or adding dependants, we audit your Certificate of Sponsorship alongside English language, maintenance and ATAS or criminal record certificate requirements where triggered by the role.
