FAQ

Senior or Specialist Worker cost questions

Does the Senior or Specialist Worker route use the same fee bands as Skilled Worker?

It follows the same broad fee pattern of shorter versus longer sponsorship periods, but the route remains part of Global Business Mobility rather than Skilled Worker.

Can I estimate dependants on a Senior or Specialist Worker application?

Yes. Dependants usually pay the same visa fee band as the main applicant, plus their own healthcare surcharge.

Does faster processing apply to this route?

Where available, you can add priority or super priority service fees to the estimate for each applicant.

Next steps

Once the Senior or Specialist Worker numbers still look realistic, the next move is to validate sponsor fit, confirm salary logic, and then narrow into real employers.
