Switching from Temporary Worker to Skilled Worker
Greetings 👋
My name is Alexander, I am your personal manager. Let me help you!

Recently, our team was asked a question: “Is it possible to switch from a Temporary Worker visa to a Skilled Worker visa without leaving the UK?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
13.08.2025 18:15:21 Yes, it is generally possible to switch from a Temporary Worker visa (T5) to a Skilled Worker visa from within the UK, provided certain conditions are met. You must have a valid job offer from a UK employer who is an approved Skilled Worker sponsor, and your role must meet the relevant skill and salary thresholds. You must also continue to meet the English language requirement and other eligibility criteria. You cannot switch if your current visa was issued under certain categories, such as a Creative or Religious Worker in some cases. Our legal support includes assessing your eligibility, advising on required documents, preparing and submitting your application, and responding to Home Office requests, ensuring a smooth transition without the need to leave the UK.
13.08.2025 19:42:56 Yes, in many cases it is possible to switch from a Temporary Worker visa to a Skilled Worker visa without leaving the UK, provided you meet specific eligibility requirements. You must have a valid Certificate of Sponsorship from a UK employer licensed to sponsor Skilled Worker visas, meet the minimum salary threshold, and satisfy English language requirements. You also need to ensure your current visa allows switching — some Temporary Worker categories (e.g., certain youth mobility or short-term schemes) may not permit in-country switching. We provide full legal support: assessing your eligibility, verifying sponsorship documents, preparing and submitting your application, and advising on any Home Office queries, ensuring the transition is smooth and compliant with immigration rules.
