Health and Care Worker visa
Overview
A Health and Care Worker visa allows medical professionals
to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with the
NHS, an NHS supplier or in adult social care

Eligibility
Your job
To qualify for a Health and Care Worker visa, you must:
• be a qualified doctor, nurse, health professional or adult
social care professional
• work in an eligible health or social care job
• work for a UK employer that’s been approved by the
Home Office
• have a ‘certificate of sponsorship’ from your employer
with information about the role you’ve been offered in
the UK
• be paid a minimum salary - how much depends on the
type of work you do.
How long it takes
You can apply for a visa up to 3 months before the day you
are due to start work in the UK. This date is listed on your
certificate of sponsorship.
As part of your application, you’ll need to prove your identity
and provide your documents.
You may need to allow extra time if you need an
appointment to do this. You’ll find out if you need one when
you start your application.

What you can and cannot do
You can:
• work in an eligible job
• take on additional work in certain
circumstances
• do voluntary work
• study
• bring your partner and children
you as your ‘dependants’, if they’re eligible
• travel abroad and return to the UK
• apply to settle permanently in the UK (also known as
‘indefinite leave to remain’) if you’ve lived in the UK for
5 years and meet the other eligibility requirements
You cannot:
State Pension
• change jobs or employer unless you update your visa
If your application is successful, you’ll get a full list of what
you can and cannot do with a Health and Care Worker visa.
2. Your job
You must meet all of the following requirements to be eligible
for a Health and Care Worker visa:
• you’re a qualified doctor, nurse, health professional or
adult social care professional
• your job is eligible for this visa
• you’ll be working for a UK health and care sector
employer that’s been approved by the Home Office
• you’ll be paid the minimum salary or the ‘going rate’ for
the type of work you’ll be doing - whichever is higher
Check if your job is eligible
Before you can find out if your job is eligible, you need to
know its 4-digit occupation code.
If you already have a job offer, ask your employer for your
occupation code.
Look up your job’s occupation code
If you do not know your code, you can search for your job in
the ONS occupation coding tool.
Not every job title is included. If you cannot find your exact
job title, try searching for similar jobs.
Make sure the job description matches what you’ll be doing.
Some jobs in the same area of practice have different
codes, for example dentists and dental hygiene therapists.
