Which work routes are common right now?
Skilled Worker — job offer from a licensed sponsor
Health & Care Worker — for NHS and eligible health providers
Global Talent — for leaders or rising talent in approved fields
Scale-up — for fast-growing UK companies with sponsor status
Temporary Worker — creative, charity, or government-authorised exchange
Graduate Route — for recent UK graduates starting work
A Standard Visitor visa does not let you take a job or be self-employed in the UK
(except for very narrow Permitted Paid Engagements). If your goal is to work in the UK,
use a proper work visa route that matches your job and employer.
