Am I Sponsor-Ready?

Q: Does a high score guarantee I will be sponsored?

No. The score measures how complete your preparation is. Whether an employer sponsors you for a specific role is always the employer's decision.

Q: Is this checker really free?

Yes. No account or payment is needed and your answers never leave your browser.

Seven questions, two minutes, no sign-up. This checks how complete your preparation is for a UK sponsored job — it cannot predict whether you will be sponsored. No website can promise that.

How to read your result. Your score measures readiness, not chances. A sponsor licence does not mean every vacancy offers sponsorship — sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision.

Sponsor-readiness checklist

Enable JavaScript for the interactive check, or work through the list directly:

Know your immigration route. Most sponsored hires are Skilled Worker visas. You generally cannot switch from a visitor visa — sort the route before applying.
Clear the salary bar. The general Skilled Worker threshold is £41,700 a year (Home Office rules, in force since 22 July 2025). Your occupation's ‘going rate’ can be higher — the higher of the two applies.
Check your occupation is eligible. Since July 2025 most sponsored roles must be degree-level (RQF 6). Over 100 occupations were removed — check the official list.
Prove B2 English. Skilled Worker needs CEFR B2 English since January 2026. Book an approved test early.
Get a UK-format CV ready. Two pages maximum, no photo, no date of birth. The cheapest win on this list.
Verify every employer. Search the employer on LegitSponsors before you apply. No licence means no sponsorship.

Common questions

Does a high score guarantee I will be sponsored?

No. The score measures how complete your preparation is — immigration status, salary target, eligible occupation, English level, experience, CV and employer checks. Whether an employer sponsors you for a specific role is always that employer's decision. Treat a high score as ‘ready to apply well’, not ‘certain to be sponsored’.

What salary do I need for a Skilled Worker visa?

The general threshold is £41,700 a year (in force since 22 July 2025), but your occupation's ‘going rate’ can set a higher bar — you must clear the higher of the two. Lower floors (£33,400) apply to new entrants and some PhD roles.
