A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer.
This visa has replaced the Tier 2 (General) work visa.
Skilled Worker Visa Sponsorship Licence Renewals
The Home Office has announced that from 6 April 2024, employers that already hold a sponsorship licence will no longer be required to apply for a licence renewal after four years.
There is no action needed for employers. If a practice has a sponsorship licence that is due to expire on or after this date, the Home Office will automatically extend the expiry date on the licence to 10 years.
There has also been changes to the costs for Skilled Worker Visa, Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and Citizenship applications.
Guidance Documents
There is a detailed application guide which includes a list of required supporting documents, fees, and step by step information.
These documents were prepared by the Workforce Team, NHS England. For more information and support, contact the Skilled Worker Support Team.
