Britain: 5 skills that can help you get a work visa

Ahmed Moawad - | World

There are many jobs that are in high demand in Britain, and if you are among these in-demand jobs, it will be easy for you to obtain a work visa and start a new life in Britain.

Indians make up the majority of visas issued by Britain

According to UK government estimates for 2022, approximately 16% of the population in England and Wales was born outside the UK, with the largest group being Indians. In 2022, Indians accounted for the majority of visas issued by the UK, including study, work and visit.

The United Kingdom is the most famous destination for studying abroad

So, why do so many people go to the UK? The UK is a popular study abroad destination due to its welcoming culture, excellent schools, relatively short application processes, and relatively low tuition rates.

Work visa after studying in Britain

In addition, the attractiveness of the application has been boosted by the reinstatement of the two-year post-study work visa after 2020. Hence, it should come as no surprise that the number of skilled worker visas granted to Indians increased by 63% between 2021 and 2022.

Finding work in a foreign country is not easy, but did you know that if you succeed, employers will pay attention to your qualifications? Does a British work visa cost more?

The most in-demand jobs in Britain

It is easy to get a visa and start a great life in the UK because there are many jobs that are in high demand. Jobs in healthcare, engineering, technology, education and business are among the most sought-after, according to the "Skilled Worker Visas: Occupations Shortage" list.

1- Healthcare heroes:

The scarcity of trained medical staff has been highlighted worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those working in the medical, pharmaceutical and carer fields who meet the requirements for the Skilled Worker Visa Scheme are warmly welcomed by the UK and given a clear path to permanent residence.

You can stay in the UK for up to five years with this visa, which is renewable in perpetuity. Having a job offer from a UK company that meets the necessary salary criteria is essential for eligibility for a Skilled Worker Visa. You must also be qualified and have experience in this field.

2- Background in engineering:

The engineering industry is thriving in the UK, with jobs available in all the usual places: civil, mechanical, electrical, design and development. The need for qualified engineers from India is expected to continue to grow at a rate of 2.7% annually until 2027.

3- IT engineers, business analysts and systems designers:

Business analysts, architects, engineers and systems designers in IT are in high demand due to the booming IT industry in the UK. The employment outlook for these jobs is bright, with more than 5,000 new jobs added by 2027, thanks to an expected 4.2% increase in demand. Additionally, 49,600 new jobs will be created as 39.6% of current employees in the industry prepare for retirement.

4- Software engineers, programmers:

Software developers and programmers are in high demand, with 12,500 new jobs expected to open by 2027, representing a 4.2% increase in the workforce. At the same time, 118,900 jobs will become available as a result of the retirement of professionals.

Experts in software design and development from India are in a prime position to capitalize on this trend.

5- Economists, statisticians and actuaries:

For both private companies and public institutions, actuaries, economists and statisticians play an essential role. Indian professionals with the right qualifications stand out in the competitive job market for positions that require strong analytical, computational, mathematical, and problem-solving abilities. Insurance, banking, and government are just a few of the many areas in which these individuals are indispensable.

A total of 1,800 new jobs will be added to the industry by 2027, the National Career Services forecast, with a growth rate of 4.3%.

UK's favorable job market and simplified visa procedures attract the best talent from all over India. Opportunities abound for talented individuals looking for a rewarding career abroad, from healthcare leaders to technology giants.
