Are there English language proficiency requirements for the Skilled Worker Visa?

Britain New Immigration Rules 27 Jun 2024

Yes, there are English language proficiency requirements for the Skilled Worker visa. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to speak, read, write, and understand English at least at the B1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) scale. This can be proven through an approved English language test, a degree taught in English, or being a national of a majority English-speaking country.
