The United Kingdom government has updated its Skilled Worker Visa Occupation List, adding over 200 new eligible job roles to the list of professions qualified for the visa scheme. 

The Skilled Worker Visa Occupation List is a list created by the UK government that shows which jobs you can apply for if you want a Skilled Worker Visa. It includes the job titles, job codes, and the requirements needed for each role. 

This expansion, announced by the UK Home Office on its official website, is to attract skilled talent globally and cuts across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, engineering, education, and IT.

To help applicants identify their job title, the UK government has provided the CASCOT occupation coding tool. This tool allows individuals to enter their job title or main duties to find their corresponding occupation code.  Using the correct code is crucial to ensure the success of a visa application. 

What you should know 

Most applicants will be able to bring their dependents, including spouses, partners, and children, with them to the UK. Dependent family members may also be eligible to work or study in the UK, which is a welcome bonus for applicants looking to relocate with their loved ones. Despite the significant expansion, certain low-wage, low-skilled, or part-time jobs remain ineligible. These include positions in fast food outlets, housekeeping, delivery services, and some warehouse roles. Applicants are advised to check the official list to confirm eligibility.
