Changes to the UK immigration policy introduced on the 9th of April 2025, increased the minimum salary threshold for certificates of sponsorship applications for Health and Care Worker Visa from £23,200 (£11.90 per hour) to £25,000 (£12.82 per hour). For further information on the Health and Care Worker visa, please visit the Home Office website.
