UK Work Visas
Your Career Transition to the United Kingdom Starts Here
The UK remains a top global destination for professionals. However, with the 2026 immigration reforms, navigating the points-based system requires expert precision. At Domino Consultants, we specialize in securing work authorizations for Pakistani professionals, ensuring every “Certificate of Sponsorship” (CoS) meets the latest Home Office criteria.
Main UK Work Visa Categories
1. Skilled Worker Visa
This is the primary route for professionals with a job offer from a UK-licensed employer.
2026 Salary Update: New applicants must now meet a higher general salary threshold (typically £41,700 or the ‘going rate’ for the specific job).
English Requirement: As of January 2026, new applicants must demonstrate CEFR Level B2 (IELTS 5.5 – 6.5) in all four modules.
Pathway to PR: This visa leads to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years.
2. Health and Care Worker Visa
A fast-track, low-cost visa for doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals.
Exemptions: No Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) is required, saving you thousands of pounds.
Eligibility: Must be sponsored by the NHS or an authorized adult social care provider.
3. Graduate Visa (Post-Study Work)
For students who have successfully completed their degree in the UK.
Duration: Stay and work for 2 years (3 years for PhD graduates) without needing a sponsor.
2026 Note: New rules affect those applying after January 2027, so 2026 is the crucial year to secure your 2-year stay.
4. Scale-up Worker Visa
Designed for talented individuals recruited by UK businesses in a “high-growth” phase.
Flexibility: Uniquely allows you to switch to unsponsored work after just 6 months.
