Changing Employer on a Skilled Worker Visa

About Changing Employer on a Skilled Worker Visa

Changing employer on a Skilled Worker Visa is more involved than a standard job move. Because your visa is tied to your sponsor, moving to a new employer usually means a fresh application linked to a new Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed sponsor. Getting the timing and paperwork right is essential to protect your status, your right to work and any progress towards settlement. RakLAW guides Skilled Workers and new sponsoring employers through the switch, making sure the application is accurate, well-evidenced and submitted at the right time.

Who this is for

  • Skilled Workers moving to a new UK employer
  • Employees offered a new sponsored role
  • New sponsors taking on existing Skilled Workers
  • Workers protecting progress towards settlement

How RakLAW helps

  • Advise on timing and risks before you resign
  • Coordinate with your new sponsor on documents
  • Prepare a strong change of employer application
  • Protect your settlement clock and family visas
