Allow Skilled Worker visa holders to work up to 40 hours in secondary employment
Allow all Skilled Worker and Health Care visa holders to legally work up to 40 hours per week in secondary employment. This will support essential sectors, reduce staff shortages, and increase tax revenue for the UK
Allow Skilled Worker visa holders to take unrestricted secondary work
We call on the Government to allow Skilled Worker visa holders to undertake unrestricted secondary work, including self-employment and gig economy roles such as food delivery and private hire driving, that would only be allowed outside their primary sponsored working hours.
Allow family visa holders to include time spent on a skilled worker visa for ILR
The Government plans to increase the qualifying residence period for indefinite leave to remain from 5 to 10 years for skilled worker visa holders. We believe skilled workers on 5-year visas should be able to include time spent on their current visa if they switch to a family visa & apply for ILR.
Resolve delays in renewal of COS for Skilled Worker visas
The Government should urgently address delays in renewing Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) for Skilled Worker visas, including clear updates on renewal delays, published processing times, priority for care workers, and an expedited route and support channel for urgent UK-based cases.
End sponsorship requirements for skilled worker visa holders already in the UK
We believe skilled workers who follow the law, pay taxes and take no benefits should not face longer settlement or sponsorship dependence. We believe removing the sponsorship requirement for people on skilled worker visas is essential for safety and fairness.
