Important Update for Skilled Worker Sponsors

02 Sep 2024 | Visalogic

UKVI has confirmed today that during the April 2024 Immigration Rule changes, some published salaries were incorrectly recorded. This led to advertised required salaries being significantly higher than what actually needed to be offered to candidates.<.p>

All registered sponsors have been notified via the SMS portal, but it seems this information hasn’t been widely shared online yet.

Key points:

  • The April 2024 Immigration Rules contained errors where going rates for occupation codes were set too high.
  • The correct, lower rates are now updated on GOV.UK and will be officially corrected in the autumn.
  • When issuing CoS for Skilled Workers, refer to the updated going rates in the GOV.UK guidance.
