Guidance on the UK’s skilled and sponsored work visa routes — the employer-sponsored visas for qualified professionals, from the main Skilled Worker route to the Health & Care visa, plus the sponsorship duties and salary thresholds that govern them.
These routes share one core mechanism: a licensed UK employer sponsors the worker through a Certificate of Sponsorship, and the role must meet a minimum skill level and salary threshold. Our guides cover who qualifies, the sponsorship requirements employers must satisfy, and the appropriate salary rates by occupation. Browse the skilled work guides below.
