The UK Skilled Worker Visa provides various benefits for foreign nationals who wish to work in the United Kingdom in a skilled role. Some of the main advantages of the UK Skilled Worker Visa include:
1.Right to Live and Work in the UK: The visa allows you to live and work in the UK for a specific employer in a role that requires a certain level of skill. You can also change jobs or employers, provided you update your visa to reflect this change.
2.Pathway to Settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain – ILR): After spending 5 years on a Skilled Worker Visa, you may become eligible for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), which grants you permanent residency in the UK. Once you hold ILR, you can live in the UK without any time restrictions.
3.Family Sponsorship: You can bring your spouse/partner and children under 18 years old to the UK as dependents. They can live, work, and study in the UK while you are on a Skilled Worker Visa.
4.Access to Public Services: As a Skilled Worker Visa holder, you and your family members can access public services, such as the National Health Service (NHS). However, you will need to pay the Immigration Health Surcharge as part of the visa application process.
5.Professional Development: The UK is home to many leading industries such as technology, finance, healthcare, and engineering. Working in the UK can offer valuable professional experience, networking opportunities, and career growth, helping you to advance in your field.
6.Salary and Employment Rights: You will have the right to earn a salary that meets the minimum threshold set by the Home Office (usually £26,200 per year or £10.75 per hour, but this may vary based on the occupation). You are also entitled to the same employment rights as UK workers, including protection against unfair dismissal, paid annual leave, and sick leave.
7.Opportunity to Switch Jobs or Employers: As long as your new job meets the visa requirements, you can switch jobs or employers while in the UK, making it easier to progress in your career.
8.No Language Requirement for Certain Applicants:Depending on the job you are applying for, you may not be required to meet a specific level of English language proficiency. However, most applicants will need to demonstrate a certain level of English (usually B1 level under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
9.Right to Travel:You are allowed to travel in and out of the UK during the validity of your visa, offering flexibility for personal or professional reasons.
10.Access to UK Education System: If your children are accompanying you on the Skilled Worker Visa, they can attend UK schools. The UK has a highly regarded education system, and children of visa holders are usually eligible for the same public education as British children.
11.Possible Path to UK Citizenship: After obtaining ILR, if you live in the UK for at least 12 months with ILR status, you may be eligible to apply for British citizenship, subject to meeting the requirements such as English proficiency, residency, and passing the Life in the UK test.
12.High Standard of Living: The UK offers a high standard of living, with access to world-class infrastructure, healthcare, cultural diversity, and various social services.
