This page collects official UK government sources for people planning to work in and relocate to the United Kingdom: the visa system run by the Home Office, the register of employers licensed to sponsor workers, salary and occupation rules, devolved-nation programmes, professional registration, and the practical steps of settling in. Everything below links to gov.uk, a devolved government, an official regulator, or (in one clearly marked section) a well-known private job board.
The core sequence for anyone assessing whether they need a visa and which route fits: check the requirement, browse the full list of routes, then read the route-specific pages.
This is the most important section for job-seekers checking whether an employer can legally sponsor them, and for businesses considering sponsorship for the first time. The register is the authoritative, regularly-updated list of every licensed sponsor.
The register CSV is large (10MB+) and updates frequently through the month — always use the live gov.uk link rather than a saved copy.
How much a sponsored role must pay and which occupation codes qualify — these tables are updated periodically, so always check the current version on gov.uk rather than a cached figure.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each run their own talent-attraction, relocation and skills services alongside the UK-wide immigration system.
Overseas qualifications and professional licences generally need formal UK recognition or registration before you can practise, and most work visas require proof of English at a set level using an approved test.
Central government, the NHS, schools and the police each run their own official recruitment channels distinct from the general job market.
Large, well-known private job boards. These are not government sources and vacancies here are not verified by any regulator, but they are a normal part of a UK job search.
Private commercial platforms — always cross-check any sponsor claim against the official register of licensed sponsors above.
Once a visa is granted, these are the official steps for proving status, registering with public services, paying tax and driving legally in the UK.
Directory of official and semi-official sources, compiled 2026-08-26. Links are to the issuing body wherever one exists. This page states no eligibility, processing time or fee, and is not immigration advice — rules change, and the issuing authority is always the current source.
Your own government runs the register of licensed recruiters, the emigration clearance and the welfare fund that apply before you leave. Those pages are written from that side.
