UK’s new list of eligible jobs has been published alongside the job codes.
UK’s shortage occupations list provides you with an overview of if you are eligible to apply for a work visa. The UK is finally open for applications from skilled workers around the globe.
The new immigration rules changes are in effect from 9 am 1 December 2020. The statement of changes in immigration rules HC813 was announced by the UKBA on 22 October 2020. Having a job offer from an approved employer, English knowledge, and certain salary requirements make it now easier for those willing to qualify for a new work visa. people having better qualifications will have an edge over others. A qualified job offer from the UK is a must for the new skilled work visa. The UKBA has issued a list of shortage occupations that allow you to work for the labor market. The government requires skilled workers whose job codes are given in the list. The new skilled work visa is based on points. A score of 70 points is a must to qualify for the visa. Out of these 70 points, 20 are for a job offer by an approved sponsor in the UK and 20 are for a job at an appropriate skill level.
Which is a qualified job for the visa?
A skilled job must fulfill the following requirements:
- your job is eligible for this visa
- you’ll be paid the minimum salary or the ‘going rate’ for the type of work you’ll be doing – whichever is higher
- you’ll be working for a UK employer that’s been approved by the Home Office
UK Skilled Work Visa job codes
All jobs that are eligible for the visa have been given 4 codes of the name. The code name makes the job search easy. If as an applicant you do not know the code of your job, you can search for it here (ONS occupation coding tool). For searching the job code, you may use different job titles as the database is not based on only specified names against codes. Make sure that you check the proper job code and job name as sometimes some jobs have the same job code but different job titles. A good example is “Chefs” and “Cooks”. Both have the same job code but chefs are eligible for skilled work visas whereas the cooks are not.
Salary requirements
If you are not paid a required salary threshold, you will not be able to claim 20 points for it. You’ll usually need to be paid at least £25,600 per year (to claim 20 points) unless the ‘going rate’ for your job is higher than this. Professionals from the “health and education sector” will have to less the threshold of 20,480 to secure 20 points. The ongoing salary threshold is a must to be followed. In some job cases, even if your salary is £27,000 per year, but the annual going rate for the job you’ll be doing is £30,000. You do not meet the usual salary requirements for this visa. A good thing is that, even if you cannot fulfill the salary threshold requirement, you can still be eligible for the visa. This is possible to apply with a minimum salary threshold of £20,480 but they will have to show that their skills and job offer are from the shortage occupation list. Applicants will also be able to apply with an income threshold of £22,000 if they have a relevant Ph.D. in a STEM subject.
Approved employers list
UKBA has also released the approved employer’s list. The job you get must be from one of the approved employers in the UK. These are mainly known as licensed sponsors. For applying for the skilled work visa, the sponsor (employer) issues you a certificate of sponsorship (that is a reference number only) to be included in your visa application. The certificate of sponsorship can only be used for 3 months from the time of issuance. Click here to check the complete list.You can read here the new immigration rules for the UK here.
