The Skilled Worker visa replaced Tier 2 (General) and allows non-UK nationals to work in the UK for an approved employer holding a sponsor licence.
The general salary threshold is currently £41,700 per year (or the going rate for the occupation, whichever is higher). Transitional arrangements may apply to existing visa holders.
Applicants must also pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), currently £1,035 per year.
