UK Employer-Sponsored Visa Jobs List 2025

Do you have problems, in the UK, getting a job with visa sponsorship, once the huge salary increases of 2025? As the standard salary limit has now reached an unfriendly high of 41,700, a significant number of international professionals are being locked out of the market.

Nevertheless, there is the other side of the 2025 immigration rules. This is because by focusing on positions on the Immigration Salary List (ISL) or the Temporary Shortage List (TSL) you can still easily obtain a visa with a minimum salary of £33,400. It is the most recent list of sponsoring employers plus the technical keywords that you must use in order to circumvent the automated rejection filters.

In order to identify a sponsored position within the existing market, your CV and search terms would have to be based on the 2025 regulatory language. The following terms are used to spot legitimate opportunities:

Technical & Regulatory Terms

Salary & “Discount” Keywords

ISL Eligible: Jobs such as Chemical Scientists or Archaeologists that permit the use of the threshold of £33,400.
TSL (Temporary Shortage List): A critical 2025 addition to Data Analyst, IT Support, and CAD Technician.
New Entrant Discount: Special discount of sponsorship at 33,400 irrespective of the market rate of the job is available to those below 26 or UK graduates who have graduated in the recent past.

List of Sponsoring Employers Top 2025

2025 Critical Warning

You should apply to Visa as soon as possible. Starting January 8, 2026, Skilled Worker and Scale-Up visa requirements will go up to a B2 level (previously it was B1). This will make the test much more difficult (it will transform into an upper-intermediate instead of intermediate).

Pro Tip: You can still be evaluated to the B1 standard when you apply before January 7, 2026, and may end up spending months instead of months studying languages.

How to Secure a Sponsored Job

Filter by A-Rated Status: Accept the Official Sponsor Register and apply. There is no need to waste time with companies who do not have a license.
SOC 2020 Codes: Make sure that your job title corresponds to a code in the RQF 6 or in either the TSL /ISL lists.
Negotiate the Minimum Wage: In case your proposal is lower than 41 700, verify whether you are a New Entrant (under 26 or changes of a Student Visa) that the minimum wage be reduced to 33 400.
