A skilled work visa is rarely refused on the merits. It is refused because a document is missing, undated, untranslated or not apostilled. This white paper sets out the seven documents officials actually want to see, in the order that works — and then a country-by-country reference for the five destinations most skilled migrants target.
The seven documents, in order
- An eligible occupation confirmation against the destination's shortage or eligible list.
- A compliant offer from an employer with a valid sponsor licence.
- Language and credential evidence booked early.
- Civil documents — apostilled and certified-translated.
- Maintenance funds held continuously.
- The filed application, fee and health surcharge.
- Biometrics and the appointment letter.
The three steps most applicants get wrong are steps three, four and five — because they look simple and they are not.
