UNITED KINGDOM PROGRAM

UNITED KINGDOM SKILLED WORKING VISA

The United Kingdom Skilled Worker Visa, formerly known as the Tier 2 (General) visa, is designed for skilled workers from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland who have a job offer from a UK employer. To qualify, applicants typically need to have a job offer from a UK employer that holds a valid sponsor license. They must also meet specific eligibility criteria, including English language proficiency, financial requirements, and fulfilling the skill level of the job offer. Applicants may need to provide evidence of their qualifications and undergo a points-based assessment. Once granted, the Skilled Worker Visa allows individuals to live and work in the UK for up to five years, with the possibility of extending their stay or applying for settlement. This visa route aims to attract skilled workers to fill shortages in the UK labor market and contribute to the country’s economy and society.
