Study in UK

A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer. Your visa can last for up to 5 years before you need to extend it.

When you apply you’ll need to provide:

• Your certificate of sponsorship reference number - your employer will give you this
• Proof of your knowledge of English
• A valid passport or other document that shows your identity and nationality
• Your job title and annual salary
• Your job’s occupation code
• The name of your employer and their sponsor licence number - this will be on your certificate of sponsorship
• Evidence that you have enough personal savings to support yourself in the UK
• Proof of your relationship with your partner or children if they’re applying with you

You can apply for a Start-up visa if you want to set up an innovative business in the UK - it must be something that’s different from anything else on the market. Before you apply you need to have your business or business idea assessed by an endorsing body.

They will provide you with an endorsement letter if your business is viable.

You’ll also need to provide:

• A valid passport or other document that shows your identity and nationality
• Bank statements showing you’ve had at least £1270 in savings in your bank account for 28 consecutive days before you apply
• Proof that you meet the English language requirement
