The visa allows you to stay in the UK for five years or more and even settle in the UK permanently via the ILR route. Here are the eligibility requirements for the Global Talent Visa UK:

Skilled Worker Visa Applications & Immigration Support

The UK Skilled Worker Visa is designed for individuals who have been offered a skilled job by a UK employer holding a valid sponsor licence. This visa replaced the Tier 2 (General) Work Visa and is one of the main pathways for working and settling in the UK.

Our experienced immigration solicitors assist both applicants and employers in ensuring the application meets all Home Office requirements.

To qualify for a Skilled Worker Visa, you must meet strict UK immigration criteria. These include having a valid job offer and meeting salary and skill requirements.

We assist you in preparing all required documentation, including:

  • Job role meeting skill level requirements

Our legal team ensures your application is complete, accurate, and fully compliant with UK immigration law.
