Student dependant switching

[focus15]

Hi everyone

Please I need a clarification on these issue. Can a student dependant switch to self sponsorship skill worker visa?

What exactly do you mean by self sponsorship?

There is no such category for skilled worker visa. You must have a licensed sponsoring employer.

There is a self sponsorship skill visa, where you register a business and apply for

You can Google it and see. It didn't allow me to post the link

There is no such category. What you actually mean is create a UK company which obtains a Skilled Worker sponsor licence and then be assigned a valid Certificate of Sponsorship to in turn sponsor yourself. That would mean 1. establishing a UK company 2. applying for a Skilled Worker sponsor licence 3. Getting a valid Certificate of Sponsorship and then 4. applying for a Skilled Worker visa. The Home Office would likely have issues about the genuineness and credibility of doing this. Not to mention the costs.

Agree with Amber.

If you Google:

self sponsorship skilled worker visa

You will find:

It’s not a category of the visa but a route or strategy which allows business owners and entrepreneurs to run their businesses in the UK.

Etc.
