UK Sets £41,700 Salary Threshold for Some Skilled Workers Seeking Permanent Residence

The UK has set a salary requirement for some Skilled Worker visa holders seeking indefinite leave to remain, commonly called permanent residence. Applicants may need to earn at least £41,700 a year or meet the going rate for their occupation, whichever is higher. The exact requirement can vary based on the worker’s job, visa history and applicable transitional rules. Nigerians in the UK on Skilled Worker or eligible care-related visas should check the requirements for their specific occupation before applying. Applicants who do not meet the relevant salary threshold may have to wait before becoming eligible for settled status.
