Am I eligible for the UK Skilled Worker visa?

Eligibility depends on your occupation (SOC code), whether the role is listed as eligible, whether you have a licensed sponsor, and whether the salary meets the required threshold. This tool provides general guidance, not legal advice.

What salary do I need for Skilled Worker?

You generally need to meet the higher of the occupation going rate (if published) or the general threshold. Some applicants may qualify under lower new entrant-style thresholds depending on circumstances.

How does this tool find sponsor matches?

We rank sponsors using Home Office register data and Companies House industry information (SIC) as a proxy for likely hiring, plus signals like city and hiring likelihood score. This is not a guarantee an employer sponsors a specific SOC role.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is a guide only. Immigration rules change and individual circumstances vary. For advice, consult an adviser regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, formerly OISC) or a qualified solicitor.
