FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum salary for a Skilled Worker visa?

From April 2024, the general minimum salary is £38,700, or the going rate for the specific SOC code if higher. New entrants and certain shortage occupation roles have lower thresholds. Always check the current going rate table for the specific role.

Can I switch to a Skilled Worker visa from inside the UK?

Yes, in most cases. You can switch from most other visa categories while in the UK, provided you have a valid CoS and meet all other requirements. You cannot usually switch from a Visitor visa.

How long does a Skilled Worker visa last?

Up to 5 years, or the duration of the CoS plus 14 days — whichever is shorter. After 5 years of qualifying residence you may be eligible for ILR.

What documents does a Skilled Worker application need?

A valid CoS reference number, passport, English language evidence (unless exempt), financial evidence (unless exempt), and a completed online application. Your practitioner will produce supporting documents including a cover letter and, where needed, a supporting statement.

Can my family come with me on a Skilled Worker visa?

Yes. Eligible dependants — spouse/partner and children under 18 — can apply as dependants. They must meet their own requirements including financial maintenance.
