UK Skilled Worker visa consultancy for applicants in Pakistan, the UAE and the UK: eligibility under the July 2025 rules, sponsorship, salary, documents and application preparation.
The Skilled Worker visa is the main UK route for people coming to work for a UK employer. It requires a job with a Home Office licensed sponsor, a Certificate of Sponsorship, an eligible occupation, the applicable salary and English language at the required level.
The route changed significantly on 22 July 2025: for most new applicants, the job must now be at graduate level (RQF level 6), salary thresholds were raised, and roles below that level are only possible in limited cases through the Temporary Shortage List. Because the rules now depend heavily on the exact occupation code and salary, careful checking before you apply is essential.

Advice on extensions, change of employment and the path to settlement
A genuine Certificate of Sponsorship is assigned by a licensed UK employer for a real job, and the Home Office does not allow workers to be charged for it. If anyone asks you to pay for a CoS or promises a "guaranteed UK work visa", treat it as a serious warning sign.
The application fee and the Immigration Health Surcharge depend on the length of the visa, and processing times are published by UKVI. We confirm the current figures during your consultation.
