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.
