No. Under the Senior or Specialist Worker route, applicants are not required to prove their knowledge of the English language. However, if you wish to switch from this visa to another visa category such as the Skilled Worker route, you may be required to take an English language test depending on your circumstances.
You’ll need to apply to update your Senior or Specialist Worker visa if your job changes to a different occupation code. You must have the same employer or be employed by an organisation that is owned by your employer. Otherwise, you will need to apply for permission under an alternative route, such as the Skilled Worker route.
No. Senior or Specialist Workers are not permitted to work a second job in addition to the role detailed on the CoS, unless a transitional arrangement applies.
No, the Senior or Specialist Worker route does not lead to settlement in the UK. However, if you want to stay for longer you can apply to switch into another visa route that does lead to settlement, such as the Skilled Worker route, if you meet the requirements.
More information and guidance on the Senior or Specialist Worker route for applicants and employers can be found on the GOV.UK website.
