The Scale-up Worker Visa enables you to come to the UK to work for a rapidly growing business, often referred to as a ‘scale-up business.’ This visa category is designed for highly skilled individuals recruited by a UK Scale-up Sponsor, who possess the expertise necessary to support the business’s continued expansion. To qualify, applicants must secure a high-skilled job offer from a qualifying Scale-up business at the stipulated salary level.

To be eligible for the Scale-up Worker Visa, you must meet the following criteria:

Job Offer: Have a job offer at a graduate level or above from a qualifying Scale-up business.

Salary: Be offered a salary of at least £33,000 per year or the ‘going rate’ for the occupation code, whichever is higher.

Employment Duration: Be expected to work for the employer for a minimum of six months from the start of your visa.

English Proficiency: Demonstrate the ability to speak, understand, read, and write English to the required standard.

Applications for the Scale-up Worker Visa must be submitted in accordance with Appendix Scale-up of the Immigration Rules. This visa route also provides a pathway to settlement, allowing applicants to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after five years of continuous residence in the UK, either under the Scale-up visa or in combination with other eligible visa categories.
