Find out which jobs are eligible for the Skilled Worker visa.

The table is sorted in order of occupation code, with the smallest numbers at the top. You may be able to use your web browser to search for it on the page.

If you cannot find your job on the list, try looking for similar job titles or the occupation code instead. Use full words, such as ‘laboratory’ rather than ‘lab’.

If you do not know your job's occupation code, you can search for your job in the ONS occupation coding tool.
