Scale-up Worker Visa
About Scale-up Worker Visa
The Scale-up Worker Visa is designed for talented individuals taking up a high-skilled job with a fast-growing UK scale-up business. It offers more flexibility than other sponsored routes, including the ability to change employer or work for yourself after an initial sponsored period. Eligibility depends on the role, the sponsoring scale-up, salary and English language ability. RakLAW advises both applicants and sponsoring scale-ups, helping ensure the role and evidence meet the rules and giving you a clear path through the application, extension and longer-term settlement options.
Who this is for
- High-skilled professionals joining a UK scale-up
- Applicants wanting more post-sponsorship work flexibility
- Founders' early teams relocating to the UK
- Scale-up employers sponsoring overseas hires
