Holding a licence on the Skilled Worker route means RESEARCH DATA SCOTLAND has been vetted by UKVI specifically to sponsor workers under that category's rules. Requirements vary by route, so a company licensed for Skilled Worker is not automatically approved to sponsor workers on other routes without applying for and being granted a separate licence covering that route. Each route also carries its own eligibility criteria for the sponsored worker, covering salary, skill level, and sometimes English language requirements.
