Скачать или смотреть UK BIG UPDATES ON SKILLED WORK VISA 14TH OCTOBER

The recent changes introduced on October 14, 2025, by UK government significantly impact the English language requirements for the Skilled Worker visa and related routes, effective from January 8, 2026. Here are the key updates:

English proficiency level increased from B1 to B2 (CEFR standards), which is equivalent to A-level standard.

Applicants must pass a Home Office-approved Secure English Language Test at this higher level, covering speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

This applies to new applications for the Skilled Worker, High Potential Individual, and Scale-up routes.

If you already have a current permission with B1 requirements, you will continue to be required to meet B1 for extensions.

Other Changes Noted:
The Graduate visa (post-study work route) will be shortened from 2 years to 18 months for bachelor’s and master’s degree graduates starting in January 2027.

The High Potential Individual visa route will expand, but with caps on application numbers.

Summary:
Starting from January 8, 2026, if you apply for a Skilled Worker visa or similar, you will need to demonstrate proficiency in English at the B2 level, which is more demanding than the previous B1 requirement.

Prepare for higher language testing standards if you plan to apply after this date.
