Skilled Immigration Act Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Founders hiring talent from outside the EU can access guidance on visa sponsorship and Blue Card requirements through this support system.

This scheme provides guidance for business founders who need to hire skilled workers from outside the European Union. It is designed to help you navigate the requirements for sponsoring talent and meeting specific visa criteria.

Who it's for

This support is specifically for founders who are looking to hire talent from non-EU countries.

What you get

What it costs you

There is no fee mentioned for the guidance itself, but you will need to pay for the legal fees required to process the visas.

The catch to know

Even with guidance, processing times at local immigration offices can be very long, which may affect how quickly you can get your new hires on board.
