UK Skilled Worker Visa
Skilled Worker Guidance by Shafaq International — Visa decisions are made solely by the Embassy

The UK Skilled Worker Visa replaced the old Tier 2 visa and allows overseas nationals to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer. You need a job offer from a UK employer who holds a sponsor licence. Healthcare, IT, engineering, and finance sectors have the highest demand.
