Skilled Worker Visa: For individuals with a job offer in an eligible occupation from a UK employer with a sponsorship license.
Health and Care Worker Visa: Specifically for medical professionals to work in the NHS, an NHS supplier, or adult social care.
Senior or Specialist Worker Visa: For senior managers or specialists being transferred to a UK branch of an overseas business.
