The Skilled Worker visa has taken over the role of the Tier 2 (General) work visa. This visa category enables eligible individuals to reside in the UK while working in a qualified position under an approved sponsor or employer.

If you, or any of your immediate family members, are citizens of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein, and you established residence in the UK before January 1, 2021, you have the option to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme, which grants you the right to work in the UK without the need for a visa. Irish citizens are exempt from both the EU Settlement Scheme and the visa requirement.

For skilled workers seeking entry into the UK for specialized employment opportunities, the assistance of NMILs immigration lawyers is available.
