Most Indians working in the UK hold a Skilled Worker visa, which needs a job offer from a Home Office licensed sponsor.
The employer must hold a UK sponsor licence.
Indian applicants need a certificate from an approved clinic.
Visa fee plus Immigration Health Surcharge, set by the UK government.
Biometrics at a visa application centre in India.
You receive a Certificate of Sponsorship from a licensed UK employer, apply online, pay the visa fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, and attend biometrics at a visa application centre in India. A tuberculosis test from a UKVI-approved clinic is required for applicants from India.
The main costs are the visa application fee and the Immigration Health Surcharge, both set by the UK government and depending on the length of your visa. Add the TB test, English test, translations and travel. We give you an itemised list before you start.
If your passport has ECR (Emigration Check Required) status, overseas employment in notified countries needs emigration clearance through eMigrate. Also check that anyone recruiting you is a registered recruiting agent on eMigrate.
A job offer or offer letter does not extend your visa by itself. You still need a genuine employer, a real role and a successful application through the official government process.
We check your profile against the route, explain what the official rules require, and help you prepare a complete, accurate application. We also introduce suitable candidates to employers registered in the destination country that are recruiting for genuine roles.
The employer interviews you and decides whether to hire you, and the government decides your visa. Where the destination country requires immigration advice to come from a registered or authorised professional, that advice is given by our partner lawyers.
We review your current visa, qualifications, experience and English.
Suitable routes, official requirements, realistic timelines and costs.
Applications and interviews with registered employers, where the route needs one.
Complete documents, submitted through the official process.
