About this application service

The Skilled Worker route lets employers sponsor skilled migrants for eligible roles. From checking eligibility and the salary threshold to coordinating the Certificate of Sponsorship and submitting the application, our advisers manage the process end to end.

Who it's for

Skilled workers in eligible occupations, being sponsored by a UK employer — including those switching from a Student visa while in the UK.

What's involved

An eligibility and salary threshold review, Certificate of Sponsorship coordination with your employer, application preparation and a compliance check before submission.

Compliance matters

Skilled Worker applications are judged against strict salary and occupation rules. We make sure the role, code and salary on your CoS align with what the Home Office expects, reducing the risk of refusal.

What the £350 fee includes

  • Eligibility and salary threshold review
  • Certificate of Sponsorship coordination
  • Application preparation and compliance check

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a job offer to apply?

Yes — the Skilled Worker route is employer-sponsored. You need a Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed sponsor before you can apply. We coordinate this with your employer.

What is the salary threshold?

There is a minimum salary for the route, which generally varies by occupation code. We review your salary against the requirement that applies to your role before submission.

Can I switch to a Skilled Worker visa from inside the UK?

Often yes, including from a Student visa, provided you meet the requirements. We assess whether switching in-country is right for you.
