Skilled Worker Application

The UK Skilled Worker route is one of the most sought-after pathways for professionals looking to build their careers in the UK. It allows individuals to live and work in the UK, provided they have a job offer from an approved employer and meet specific eligibility criteria.

But for many, the process is anything but straightforward.

Understanding the sponsorship requirements, verifying salary thresholds, and ensuring the role meets the Home Office’s criteria can feel overwhelming. Many professionals come to us feeling uncertain - whether it's confusion over the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), figuring out if their job qualifies, or ensuring their employer is licensed to sponsor them.

At UM Consultancy, we’ve helped professionals across various industries, from IT and engineering to healthcare and finance, secure their Skilled Worker approvals with confidence. We don’t just assist with paperwork - we guide you through the entire journey, ensuring your application is strong, accurate, and meets every requirement.
