Visa Categories
The UK Skilled Worker Visa allows professionals to live and work in the UK with a job offer from a licensed sponsor. It replaced the Tier 2 General Visa and offers a clear route to permanent settlement after 5 years of continuous residence. Jobs in healthcare, IT, engineering, and finance are highly in demand.
Designed for leaders and promising talent in fields like science, engineering, arts, and digital technology. You do not need a job offer — recognition from an endorsed body is sufficient. This visa offers flexibility, fast-track settlement, and no cap on numbers.
ILR is the UK's permanent residency status. Once granted, you can live and work in the UK without restrictions. Most applicants become eligible after 5 years on a qualifying visa. ILR is a major milestone on your journey to British citizenship.
If you have a family member who is a British citizen or settled person in the UK, you may be eligible to join them. The UK Family Visa covers spouses, partners, children, and dependent relatives, enabling families to reunite and build their lives together in the UK.
International students who have completed a UK degree from a recognized institution are eligible for the Graduate Route. This 2-year visa (3 years for PhD graduates) allows you to work or look for work at any skill level — and then switch to a Skilled Worker Visa.
A fast-track, lower-cost version of the Skilled Worker Visa, exclusively for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and adult social care workers. Endorsed by the NHS and social care sector, this pathway offers priority processing and reduced visa fees.
