What is the minimum salary for a UK Work visa?

For the main work category, Skilled Worker, the blanket minimum from 4 April 2024 is £38,700 per year. It also has to be minimum the “going rate”, which is set up for each SOC code (ie each occupation). Whichever is lower of these 2 amounts, but you could also reduce the weekly hours if the going rate is higher than £38,700. 

There are also concessions for a lower salary: if you are switching from a Student or Graduate visa, the minimum salary is only £30,960 per year. Same for applicants who are under 26 years of age at the date of visa application. 

The salary for care workers remains to be lower at £23,200 per year. 

However, if a worker already had a Skilled Worker or Tier 2 General visa since before 4 April 2024, they can be paid a blanket minimum of £29,000, and not £38,700.
