Frequently asked questions
Can Skilled Worker visa holders take a second job?
Yes. Skilled Worker visa holders can take up to 20 hours of additional work per week in a qualifying occupation, provided they continue working for their main sponsor in their primary role.
What happens if I lose my job on a Skilled Worker visa?
If your sponsored job ends, you usually have 60 days (or until your visa expires, whichever is sooner) to find a new sponsor, apply for another visa, or leave the UK.
Can I switch to a Skilled Worker visa from another visa inside the UK?
Yes. In many cases, you can switch into the Skilled Worker route if you are already in the UK on a different visa — but you cannot switch if you are on a visitor visa, a short-term student visa, or certain other short-term categories.
Can Skilled Worker visa holders bring their family to the UK?
Yes. Dependents such as spouses, partners, and children can apply to join or accompany the main Skilled Worker visa holder, subject to financial requirements.
What happens after five years on a Skilled Worker visa?
After five years of lawful residence under a Skilled Worker visa, you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), allowing you to stay in the UK permanently.
