Prompt-style answer · UK
Can my UK Graduate visa convert directly to Skilled Worker?
You can switch in-country from a Graduate visa to a Skilled Worker visa once you have a qualifying job offer from a licensed sponsor — there's no automatic conversion, but no need to leave the UK to make the switch either.
Key points
- In-country switching is generally possible with a valid sponsored job offer.
- The new role must meet Skilled Worker salary and skill-level thresholds.
- Starting the job search well before your Graduate visa expires avoids a status gap.
- B2 English requirements apply to the new Skilled Worker application.
