The UK hotel business gives foreign workers considerable opportunity. But you must plan beforehand before entering the nation. A UK work visa may be required depending on your country.

What Is A Skilled Worker Visa?

A UK Skilled Worker visa enables you to work for an approved company. This replaced Tier 2 (General) work visa.

A Skilled Worker visa requires:

  • work for a Home Office-approved UK employer
  • a ‘certificate of sponsorship’ from your company detailing your UK position
  • work in an eligible profession
  • get a minimal pay How much depends on your job

You must have a work offer before applying for a visa. You can find out more about this type of visa or Temporary Work Visas by contacting QC Immigration

Other Considerations

  1. Be advised that you may need to demonstrate your proficiency in English while applying.
  2. Before extending, your visa may last 5 years. You must seek to renew or amend your visa when it expires or change employers.
  3. If you meet the requirements, you may extend your UK visa many times.
  4. You may apply for UK ‘indefinite right to remain’ after 5 years. You may live, work, and study here and get benefits if eligible.
