Skilled Worker visa — common questions
- What is the Skilled Worker visa?
- The Skilled Worker visa lets employers sponsor workers from outside the UK for eligible professional roles. It replaced the old Tier 2 (General) visa in December 2020. You need a job offer from an A-rated licensed sponsor, a qualifying SOC code, and a salary at or above the going rate (minimum £41,700 from April 2024).
- How does SponsoredJobs verify Skilled Worker sponsorship?
- Every listing is cross-referenced against the official Home Office sponsor register. We confirm the employer holds an active A-rating, the role maps to an eligible SOC code, and the advertised salary clears the threshold. Listings marked "Sponsors visa" come from employers that directly confirmed sponsorship availability via their careers page or job posting.
- What does "Potentially sponsorable" mean?
- The employer holds a valid sponsor licence but has not explicitly confirmed sponsorship for this specific role in the job posting. They can sponsor, but confirm directly with the employer before applying.
- Is the Skilled Worker visa the same as Tier 2?
- Yes — the Skilled Worker visa is the direct successor to Tier 2 (General), which closed to new applicants in December 2020. Searches for "Tier 2 sponsorship jobs" or "Tier 2 visa jobs UK" refer to the same route.
- Who is eligible for a UK Skilled Worker visa?
- The route requires three things: a job offer from an A-rated Home Office sponsor, a role that maps to an eligible SOC occupation code, and a salary at or above the going rate (£41,700 or the occupation-specific going rate, whichever is higher). The Home Office also applies an English language requirement (B2 CEFR for new applicants). The route is open globally with no nationality restriction. The points-based system opened to applications from 1 December 2020.
- How does sponsorship work on the Skilled Worker route?
- Once an employer offers a role, they assign a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) — a unique reference number that records the job title, salary, and start date. The CoS reference is included in the visa application. The employer must hold an active sponsor licence with sufficient CoS allocation to issue one. SponsoredJobs surfaces roles only from employers on the Home Office A-rated register.
- How long does a Skilled Worker visa last?
- Skilled Worker visas are granted for the duration stated on the Certificate of Sponsorship, plus up to 14 days, to a maximum of 5 years. Extensions can be applied for from inside the UK before the current visa expires. The visa is tied to the sponsoring employer. Changing jobs to another licensed sponsor requires a new CoS and a visa update.
- What happens after 5 years on a Skilled Worker visa?
- After 5 continuous years of lawful residence in the UK on a qualifying visa (Skilled Worker time counts in full), a person may apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). ILR is permanent residency. It removes the need to renew a visa and is not tied to any employer. Time on certain other visa types may also count toward the 5-year qualifying period.
