Skilled Worker Visa

About Skilled Worker Visa

The Skilled Worker Visa is the main UK route for overseas nationals taking up a sponsored job with a licensed UK employer. It allows you to live, work and bring your family to the UK, and can lead to settlement after qualifying continuous residence. Eligibility depends on factors including the job role, sponsorship, salary and English language ability. Our solicitors guide applicants and employers through each stage, making sure the application is properly evidenced, accurate and aligned with the Immigration Rules. RakLAW provides clear, practical legal support from start to finish.

Who this is for

  • Overseas professionals with a UK job offer
  • Skilled workers seeking a long-term UK route
  • Employees switching from another UK visa route
  • Families joining a sponsored Skilled Worker
