Frequently asked questions

Which professional, scientific and technical companies sponsor UK visas? Law and accountancy firms, consultancies, architecture and engineering practices and research organisations all sponsor here. Filter the live register to professional, scientific and technical activities to see which are hiring.

What visa do I need to work in consulting, law or research in the UK? The Skilled Worker visa covers most of these professions, requiring a licensed sponsor and a salary at or above the going rate for the occupation. Leading researchers and academics may instead qualify for the Global Talent route, which does not need a job offer.

Are research scientist roles eligible for sponsorship? Research and development roles across science and engineering are eligible for the Skilled Worker route, and many count as skilled occupations. Established or promising research leaders can also apply through Global Talent, so scientists have more than one sponsorship path depending on their career stage.
