Chefs from Abroad

As of July 22, 2025, the salary threshold for new applicants for a Skilled Worker visa as a chef is £41,700, with some specific exceptions for certain jobs or for those who were issued a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) before April 4, 2024, or July 22, 2025, under transitional rules. Individuals with a CoS assigned before April 4, 2024, can apply at a lower threshold of £31,300, provided they have maintained continuous leave in the route. However, be aware that eligibility for chefs under the Skilled Worker visa is ending, with roles at RQF Level 3 to 5 being removed from the eligible list unless they are on the new Temporary Shortage List.
