What is skilled worker visa?

With a skilled worker visa, you can come or stay in UK to work in a job that meets certain requirements for an approved employer. The Home Office changed the points-based immigration system in 2020 and skilled worker visa replaced Tier 2 (general work visa). Tier 2 and the skilled worker route have similarities, but changes have been made to allow employers to sponsor a larger foreign workforce. These changes may make the UK a more preferred prospect for migrants. The new points-based system will include a path for skilled workers with an employer sponsor job offer.

What is skilled worker visa processing time?

COVID restrictions aside, skilled worker visa applications usually take up to 8 weeks if they are made from within the UK and up to 3 weeks if they are made from outside the UK. But these timelines are not set in stone, some complex cases take more time.

What are the requirements of skilled worker visa for employers?

The sponsor must have a valid sponsor licence in order to give their candidate a “Certificate of Sponsorship.”

The information about the job offer must be on the Certificate of Sponsorship(CoS).

The work has to:

• Be good enough to get sponsored.
• Be paid the right amount for sponsorship

Also, when the sponsor gives the CoS, they are confirming that they will follow the duties that come with being a licenced sponsor, such as keeping an eye on sponsored workers and telling the Home Office if there are any changes to their work conditions that are important.
