Frequently asked questions

Which IT and technology companies sponsor UK visas?

Global software and telecoms firms, startups, IT consultancies and digital agencies all sponsor in this section. Filter the live register to information and communication to see which are hiring now.

What visa do I need to work in tech in the UK?

Most technology roles use the Skilled Worker visa, which needs a job offer from a licensed sponsor at the going rate for the occupation. Exceptional and promising specialists may also qualify for the Global Talent route, which does not require a sponsor, and recent graduates can sometimes use the Graduate visa.

Are software developer jobs eligible for UK visa sponsorship?

Software developers, data professionals and IT specialists sit firmly within the Skilled Worker route's eligible occupations, and these are some of the most sponsored roles in the UK. You still need a licensed sponsor and a salary meeting the occupation's threshold, which is often higher for senior positions.
