Skilled worker visa for immigration

According to the UK government, a Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer.

UK government, in a note on its website, said: "The skilled worker route includes charity workers, skilled workers, creative workers, global business mobility: senior or specialist workers, and international sportspersons.

"You must have a job offer from an approved UK employer before you apply for a Skilled Worker visa. Approved employers are also known as sponsors, because they are sponsoring you to come to or stay in the UK."
