Eligibility
You must:

- have enough money to support yourself in the UK - you바카라 사이트™ll usually need to have at least £1,270 available (unless you바카라 사이트™re exempt)

You cannot get this visa if you were given a Religious Worker or Charity Worker visa in the last year, unless you can prove you were outside the UK for the whole of that time.
Your employer must make sure your job pays at least the minimum wage and follows the UK rules for how many hours a week you work. If your employer does not do this, your application will be refused.
Certificate of sponsorship
A certificate of sponsorship is a unique reference number that holds information about the job you바카라 사이트™ll do and your personal details. It바카라 사이트™s not an actual certificate or paper document.
Your sponsor will give you the certificate of sponsorship.
Your sponsor must also give you the information they used on your certificate about your job, for example your working hours.
Your sponsor must be recognised by the UK government to issue certificates of sponsorship.
Your certificate of sponsorship is valid for 3 months from the date it is assigned to you.
Money to support yourself
You must have at least £1,270 in your bank account to show you can support yourself in the UK.
You will need to have had the money available for at least 28 days in a row. Day 28 must be within 31 days of applying for this visa.
You바카라 사이트™ll usually need to show proof of this when you apply, unless either:
- you바카라 사이트™ve been in the UK with a valid visa for at least 12 months
- your employer can cover your costs during your first month in the UK, up to £1,270
Your partner and children will also need to prove they can support themselves while they바카라 사이트™re in the UK. Check how much they바카라 사이트™ll need.
Read the guidance on financial evidence for more information about the money you need and how to prove it.
If your employer can support you instead
Your certificate of sponsorship must confirm this. Your employer will need to complete the 바카라 사이트˜sponsor certifies maintenance바카라 사이트™ section on your certificate. This is under 바카라 사이트˜Additional data바카라 사이트™.
