From 22 July 2025 new salary thresholds will apply across all Skilled Worker visa applications, including those seeking extensions unless they entered the route before 4 April 2024.

The updated general threshold for applicants who have not held a Skilled Worker visa since before 4 April 2024 is £41,700 (previously £38,700), or £31,300 (previously £29,000) for those who have held a Skilled Worker since before that date.

The job-specific going rates will also be going up and, again, there will be different thresholds depending on whether an individual has had a Skilled Worker visa continuously since before 4 April 2024.
