FAQs – Visa Sponsored Jobs UK

What is a visa sponsored job in the UK?

A visa sponsored job is a role offered by a UK employer licensed to sponsor foreign workers under the Skilled Worker Visa.

Who can apply for visa sponsored jobs in the UK?

Non-UK residents who meet skill, salary, and English language requirements can apply.

How do I know if a company sponsors visas in the UK?

Only employers listed as licensed sponsors by the UK government can offer visa sponsorship.

Does a job offer guarantee visa approval?

No. Final approval depends on meeting Home Office requirements.

What is the UK visa brake?

The visa brake is a new mechanism introduced in March 2026 (Statement of Changes HC 1691) that allows the government to apply route-level caps or pauses on specific visa routes if net migration thresholds are exceeded. It does not currently cap the Skilled Worker route, but employers and jobseekers should monitor Home Office announcements as specific thresholds and affected routes are still being confirmed.

How long does the Graduate visa last in 2026?

If you apply for a Graduate visa on or before 31 December 2026, it lasts 2 years (3 years for PhD/doctoral graduates). From 1 January 2027, new applicants will only receive 18 months. If you're already in the UK on a Student visa and plan to switch, apply before the end of 2026 to secure the full 2-year duration.

Will Skilled Worker salary thresholds change again in 2026?

The Migration Advisory Committee published a review of salary requirements in December 2025. The review covers the general threshold (currently £41,700), route-specific thresholds, and the going rates approach. A government response and any resulting rule changes are still pending as of early 2026. We'll update this page when confirmed changes are announced.

What is the Temporary Shortage List (TSL)?

The Temporary Shortage List (TSL) is being developed to replace the abolished Shortage Occupation List (SOL). The Migration Advisory Committee published its Stage 1 report in October 2025, outlining design principles and shortlisted occupations. The Stage 2 report with final recommendations is due summer 2026. Until the TSL is implemented, the Immigration Salary List (ISL) remains in effect — occupations on the ISL still benefit from a 20% going-rate discount.
