† The Home Office published in-country grants for these years as one combined figure, so the route columns cover the visas granted outside the UK only. The combined amount is in the “inside the UK” column and in the total.
Select a Skilled Worker or Health & Care figure to see where those visas were granted. Grants to main applicants, not dependants. Counting starts in 2021, the first full year of these routes: the Skilled Worker visa opened in December 2020 and the Health & Care Worker visa in August 2020, replacing earlier Tier 2 categories. 2020 itself covers only those opening weeks, so it is left out rather than shown as a year.
In 2025, 97 UK work visas on the Skilled Worker or Health & Care Worker routes went to Czech nationals, about the same as 2024. About 85% came through the Skilled Worker route, spanning professional, technical, and managerial jobs.
59 of those went to people applying from outside the UK. The other 38 went to people already here, switching from a Graduate, Student or other visa, or extending a sponsored job they already had. That second group is the larger one for most nationalities, and it is worth knowing about: if you are already in the UK on another visa, you are on the more common path, not the rare one.
Among the visas granted outside the UK, the most common occupation for Czech nationals in 2025 was IT business analysts, architects and systems designers (4 grants), followed by Veterinarians (4) and Chief executives and senior officials (3). The Home Office publishes no job breakdown for the visas granted inside the UK, so these counts cover the entry clearance half only. Other eligible Skilled Worker occupations are sponsorable too, as long as the employer holds a Home Office sponsor licence and the role clears the salary and skill-level thresholds for its SOC code.

A few visa types can't be switched from, including visitor and short-term study visas, and those do mean leaving and applying from abroad.
