Have a specific offer to review? Bring the employer, role and your own circumstances into the same conversation before committing to an application.

Review the facts together

The offer is the beginning of the check.

The employer and the role

  • The employer’s approval for the relevant sponsorship route.
  • The actual duties and an eligible occupation code.
  • The applicable pay requirements, taking hours and the role’s going rate into account.
  • The Certificate of Sponsorship and the proposed employment details.

You and your household

  • Identity, immigration history and any current UK permission.
  • English-language evidence and other personal requirements that apply.
  • Any partner or children who may need separate permission.
  • Documents and circumstances that need closer review before applying.

An offer, qualification or salary figure alone does not confirm eligibility. Partner and child applications have their own requirements and occupation-based restrictions can apply.

A useful first enquiry

Tell us where you are now.

You do not need to have every answer before getting in touch. A short summary helps us understand which conversation would be useful.

  • Your occupation and whether you have a particular offer or employer.
  • Whether you are in South Africa or already in the UK, and any current UK permission.
  • Whether a partner or children are part of your plans, and any important date.

Use the existing contact form to share a summary. Keep identity documents, financial records and other sensitive documents out of an ordinary enquiry.
