Skilled Worker Visas

Skilled Worker Visas is a type of employment-based immigration permit that authorizes foreign nationals with specialized qualifications, such as higher education, professional experience, or certified technical expertise, to live and work in a host country where such skills are in demand, thereby distinguishing it from other visa categories by its focus on human capital attributes and labor market needs.
