Important Areas to Consider

A Skilled Worker application involves several requirements. These must be considered together rather than looking at one requirement in isolation.

01

Job

Your role must meet the relevant requirements for the Skilled Worker route and have an eligible occupation code.

02

Sponsor

Your employer generally needs the appropriate Home Office sponsor licence for the route.

03

Salary

Salary requirements can depend on the route, occupation and individual circumstances.

04

Evidence

Your application must be supported by the documents and information required for your particular circumstances.

BUSINESS IMMIGRATION

Looking to Build a Business?

Business immigration has its own eligibility requirements. If you are considering establishing or developing a business in the UK, we can help you understand the immigration route that may be relevant to your circumstances.

Business Concept

Understand the requirements surrounding your proposed business or venture.

Endorsement & Evidence

Where required, understand the role of endorsement and supporting evidence.

Growth & Development

Understand the relevant route conditions and requirements for your circumstances.

Important

Not every business or employment situation qualifies for every immigration route.

For example, the Innovator Founder route has specific requirements around an innovative, viable and scalable business and requires endorsement by an approved endorsing body.

We recommend an individual assessment before deciding which route or application strategy may be appropriate.
