哪些人需要在英国申请工作签证？
Since the U.K. exited the EU, most non-U.K. nationals, including those from the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, need a visa to work in the country. This does not apply if they have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, or a valid pending application that lets them prove their right to work.
U.K. immigration uses a points-based system (PBS), which generally applies to non-U.K. nationals who need permission to work, study, or come to the U.K. Irish citizens are usually exempt under Common Travel Area arrangements. This system allocates points based on criteria like job type, salary level, and English proficiency. Applicants also need a job offer from a home office-licensed employer. Successful applicants can live and work in the U.K. for the period covered by their work visa.
英国工作签证选择
英国专业人士工作签证包括：
- 技术工人签证：这是技术专业人员最常见的工作签证，需要满足以下几个条件：
- Applicants must have a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from an employer with a valid Home Office sponsor license. A CoS is an electronic sponsorship record, not a paper certificate.
- The job must match an eligible Skilled Worker occupation code. It does not need to appear by exact job title.
- 求职者必须获得与其职位相符的最低薪酬标准或一般薪酬标准，以较高者为准。
- 申请者还必须证明自己的英语读、写、说和理解能力达到一定水平。
- Global business mobility (GBM) visas: These visas let businesses transfer employees to the U.K. The senior or specialist worker visa is the main Global Business Mobility subcategory for intra-company transfers. It lets companies move senior managers or specialist employees to a U.K. branch, but does not provide a direct path to settlement.
- 扩大签证：适用于从合格的、高增长的英国企业获得工作机会的个人。
- 高潜力人才（HPI）签证：适用于全球顶尖大学的应届毕业生。
英国工作签证的求职申请流程
The U.K. work visa application process is almost entirely digital. Physical biometric residence permits (BRPs) have been phased out and replaced by eVisas. Individuals access and manage their immigration status through a UKVI account and can generate a share code for right-to-work checks. Processing times are usually three weeks for work visa applications made outside the U.K. and eight weeks for those made inside the U.K. Health and Care Worker visas are usually processed in three weeks from either location. Priority services are available if a U.K. work visa needs to be fast-tracked.
- 雇主颁发 CoS：雇主在接受工作机会后颁发 CoS。 获得和维持担保人执照对雇主而言涉及重大的合规义务，包括记录保存和报告责任。如果没有此许可证，公司就无法颁发技术工人签证求职申请所需的 CoS。
- Employee applies online: The employee completes the U.K. work visa application online. They submit their CoS, evidence of English language skills, job offer details (including occupation code), and may also need to provide proof of salary, bank statements, and legal clearances. The employee usually pays the application fee and the immigration health surcharge (IHS) upfront, unless exempt. The IHS gives visa holders access to the National Health Service (NHS) during the period covered by their visa, though some charges may still apply.
- 员工提交生物识别信息：大多数申请人需要提供指纹和照片。这通常需要在签证求职申请中心办理，但有些人可能可以使用英国移民局：ID 检查应用程序，具体取决于他们的国籍和求职申请类型。
- 决定和电子签证：一旦获得批准，员工将收到决定，并可以在线访问其数字移民状态。
英国工作签证的其他重要注意事项
Skilled Worker visa holders can usually bring dependents to the U.K. Eligible dependents include a spouse, civil partner, unmarried partner, and children under 18. Children over 18 may qualify if they already have UK permission as a dependent. Restrictions can apply for care workers, senior care workers, and some medium-skilled roles. Each dependent must submit a separate application and pay the required fees, including the IHS. Their visa expires at the same time as the main applicant’s U.K. work visa.

常见问题解答
为什么专业雇主不能担保英国签证？
英国担保要求担保人对被担保的角色承担真正的责任，包括其职责、职能和结果。 在专业雇主担保工人但将其安排到客户控制的岗位上的劳动力供应模式下，可能会给各方带来合规风险。 G-P并不作为专业雇主劳动力供应安排的担保人。 我们通过客户主导的签证策略规划，为具有现有授权的员工提供合规招聘路径。
英国签证担保规则是否允许第三方工作安排？
是的。即使受聘员工前往客户现场或支持客户合同，第三方安排也不会自动被禁止。关键问题是谁负责这项工作。赞助商可以将工人安排到第三方项目中，赞助商确实与该项目签订了合同，以提供明确的服务或项目，并对工人的职责、职能、监督和产出负责。不允许的是使用签证担保向客户提供持续的日常职位，客户将日常职位作为其劳动力的一部分。
