2. Skill Level: The job must be at the required skill level (usually RQF Level 3 or above).
3. English Proficiency: Applicants must prove their ability to speak, read, write, and understand English, typically through a secure English language test (SELT).
4. Salary Threshold: The offered salary must meet the minimum threshold, which varies by job type but is generally around £26,200 per year.
5. Application Fee: A fee is required when applying for the visa, which varies depending on the duration and type of visa.
