Guia de Mudança
Mudar-se de Índia para Reino Unido
Most people moving from India to the UK come on the Skilled Worker visa with a sponsoring employer. What is different when you apply from India: a TB test from an approved clinic, biometrics at a visa centre in India, a sponsor who has assigned you a certificate of sponsorship, and planning for salary thresholds that rose in 2025.
Atualizado em 1 de outubro de 2026
Resposta rápida
Indian citizens move to the UK mainly on the Skilled Worker visa, which needs a job offer from a licensed sponsor at an eligible skill and salary level, or on the Global Talent visa. Applicants from India need a TB test certificate from a Home Office approved clinic. The visa fee is £819 (up to 3 years) or £1,618, plus the Immigration Health Surcharge of £1,035 a year.

O que muda a partir de Índia
TB test first
Because you are applying from India, you need a chest X-ray certificate from a Home Office approved clinic; it is valid for six months, so time it with your application.
Sponsor and salary
The role must be at the required skill level and meet the general salary threshold or the going rate for the occupation, whichever is higher, after the 2025 changes. Your employer assigns a certificate of sponsorship before you apply.
English requirement
A degree taught in English can meet the English requirement if Ecctis confirms it; otherwise an approved English test is needed.
Tax and social security
The UK and India have a double tax treaty. Their 2025 trade deal includes a social security arrangement for some temporary workers; we check whether it applies and is in force for you.

Normalmente precisa de um certificado de antecedentes criminais de Índia e de qualquer outro país onde tenha vivido recentemente.
