Visa Pathways for International Candidates
The most common avenues for international candidates to enter the UK is through a Skilled Worker Visa or a Graduate Visa, particularly for those who studied in a UK university. There are other avenues for those who haven't lived in the UK before to land a visa-sponsored role in the UK, which we offer advisory support for as part of your time here at the Academy.
Graduate / Post study Work Visa
The Graduate Visa allows graduates to stay and work in the UK without needing a sponsor. It is ideal for recent graduates who wish to upskill before they register with a visa-sponsored employer.
Eligibility: Completion of a degree from a recognized UK university.
Cost: £715 plus the IHS of £624 per year.
Duration: 2 years for undergraduate/master’s graduates, 3 years for PhD holders.
Explore more details on the Graduate Visa page.
Skilled Worker Visa
The Skilled Worker Visa is a key route for professionals such as data analysts, software developers, financial experts, consultants, and HR managers.
Eligibility: Requires a job offer from a licensed UK employer that meets minimum salary and skill-level requirements. Typically, the salary must be at least £38,700 or higher if you’re over 26, or £30,760 if you’re under 26.
Cost: £625 to £1,423 depending on visa length and application location, plus the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) of £624 per year.
Duration: Up to 5 years with the option to extend or apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years.

We work with Academy members hand in hand to curate a bespoke strategy for them to land a well-fitted, visa-sponsoring role for them

Beyond Sponsorship: Your Long-Term Visa Strategy
We help introduce Academy members to different visa options and pathways, guide them through interview questions, provide resources on how to prove your right to work, and strategise how to obtain Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), a status that allows you to stay in the UK without limit for the rest of your life.
