The Skilled Worker route (previously Tier 2 General visa) is for European Economic Area (EEA) nationals (arriving from 1 January 2021) and non-EEA nationals who are sponsored to do a specific skilled job for a Home Office licensed sponsor. Dependent partners and children can apply on this route, as set out in the dependent's family members' guidance. The route leads to indefinite leave to remain settlement in the UK.
If you are in the UK depending on which visa type it is possible to switch into the Skilled Worker visa in the UK. You must ensure that you first find an approved Tier 2 Licensed UK work employer from the Home Office list of providers and meet the other requirements in order to be successful in your application.
