Visa route
Work Visa
Work routes usually start with the employer, not the applicant. A certificate of sponsorship or equivalent permission normally has to exist before the visa application can be made, and the paperwork is assessed far more closely than a visitor file.
Sponsored employment and skilled worker routes.
Who this route is for
- Skilled worker and sponsored roles
- Intra-company transfers
- Licensed and regulated professions
Documents you will usually need
This is the baseline list. The final checklist depends on your nationality, the destination and your circumstances, and we confirm it against the authority before you submit.
- Passport valid for the whole permission period
- Sponsorship certificate or work permit reference
- Qualifications and professional registration
- English language or skills evidence where required
- Tuberculosis or medical certificate where required
- Police clearance certificates where required
How Alif Visa helps
We confirm the document list for your nationality and destination, review your uploads before submission and keep you updated as the file moves. Government fees and our service fee are always quoted separately — we never present our charge as an embassy fee.
Alif Visa is a private assistance company. We are not affiliated with any government, embassy or visa application centre, and no agency can guarantee the outcome of an application.
