Eligibility is mainly determined by the type of job and your country of origin. Key visa categories include:
As of 8 April 2026, the Home Office has updated visa fees. Most work visa applications have increased by approximately 6-7% to support the points-based system.
Application fees range from £340 to £1,865, depending on visa type and whether you are applying from inside or outside the UK. These fees do not include healthcare surcharges or other related expenses.
While the process is generally straightforward, factors such as nationality, job type, and other circumstances can affect processing times.
Long-term work visas are generally tied to sponsorship from a Home Office-approved employer. Except for Intra-Company Transfer visas, these long-term visas typically lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years of residence in the UK.
Our legal team provides guidance at every stage of long-term work visa applications, including extensions, switching visa categories, and ILR preparation.
