How to apply for a UK work visa?
To apply for a UK work visa, follow these general steps:
Identify the type of work visa that aligns with your employment situation. The main categories include Skilled Worker visa, Health and Care Worker visa, and Graduate visa, among others.
Review the eligibility criteria for the specific visa category you're applying for. Requirements typically include having a job offer from a UK employer, meeting the minimum skill or salary threshold, and proving English language proficiency.
If required for your visa category, your prospective UK employer needs to provide you with a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). This document confirms that they're sponsoring your visa application and details your job offer.
Gather all necessary supporting documents, which may include your passport, evidence of qualifications and work experience, proof of English language proficiency, and financial documents showing you can support yourself in the UK.
Visit the UK government's official visa application website and complete the online application form for the relevant visa category. Provide accurate and truthful information as requested. Applying for a UK work visa can be a complex and overwhelming process. It is advisable to seek legal professional assistance from an expert immigration solicitor.
Pay the visa application fee, which varies depending on the type of visa you're applying for and your location. Additionally, you may need to pay the healthcare surcharge as part of your application.
Schedule and attend a biometrics appointment at a designated visa application centre (VAC) to provide your fingerprints and photographs.
Depending on your visa category and individual circumstances, you may be required to attend an interview as part of the application process.
After submitting your application, wait for a decision from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). Processing times vary depending on the type of visa and your location.
It's important to note that specific requirements and procedures may vary depending on the type of UK work visa you're applying for and your individual circumstances. Therefore, always consider seeking professional advice from an immigration solicitor.
