Work Visa

Team meeting in a professional office.

Most work routes require a licensed sponsor and a valid Certificate of Sponsorship. Salary thresholds, occupation codes, and supplementary employment rules have tightened over time — we sanity-check your package against current guidance.

Fees, processing times, and Immigration Rules are set by UKVI and published on GOV.UK. We help you apply the rules to your facts in consultation — website text is not a substitute for checking official sources.

Who this is for

  • Skilled Worker applicants with a UK sponsor and valid CoS
  • Health and Care Worker route applicants (where eligible and with appropriate sponsorship)
  • Those exploring Global Business Mobility or other sponsored categories

Typical requirements

  • CoS with correct occupation code and skill level
  • Salary at or above the general or going-rate threshold (whichever applies)
  • English at B1 in reading, writing, speaking and listening (or exempt)
  • Criminal record certificate from relevant countries if required
  • TB certificate if applying from a listed country

Common refusal risks

  • SOC code or salary not aligned with sponsor statements
  • Immigration history affecting cooling-off or continuous residence
  • Certificate of Sponsorship errors or timing issues

How we support

  • Pre-submission review of sponsor paperwork and contract
  • Dependant applications coordinated with main applicant
  • Switching route planning (e.g. Student to Skilled Worker)
  • Indefinite leave to remain long-term planning where relevant
