Chefs – UK Visa Application

Chefs – UK Visa Application

The Hospitality Sector is crucial to the societal equilibrium of the United Kingdom so recruiting highly skilled chefs is becoming increasingly difficult in a highly competitive global market and due to market skilled shortages. 

 
Duncan Lewis business immigration solicitors can advise companies on the international recruitment of chefs, who can bring their skills to your business and drive its success.

Hospitality sector skilled workers from overseas are eligible to work in the UK under the current Immigration Rules. 

Duncan Lewis business immigration lawyers frequently advise companies on Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applications – as well as advising on recruiting hospitality sector candidates and chefs from overseas who have qualified in the UK.

 
Any Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) applicants can be sponsored for jobs in certain occupations – and the government has drawn up a list of eligible occupations for chefs wishing to apply for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa to take up a position in the UK.

 
Under the regulations, the sort of chef roles within a company that would be eligible for a Skilled Worker (formerly known as Tier 2) visa application include:

• Chef
• Chef-manager
• Head chef
• Pastry chef
