What you need to qualify
A licensed sponsor

An eligible occupation
Your role must be on the UK's list of eligible occupations at the required skill level. We help you check where your profession fits.
Salary threshold
Your salary must meet both the general minimum threshold and the specific 'going rate' for your occupation. These figures are set by the UK government and updated periodically.

You must prove English at the required level (usually IELTS/approved test or an exempt qualification). We guide you on the fastest route.
