UK Work Permit Visa for Pakistani

Yes. For the Skilled Worker / work permit route you need a confirmed job offer from a UK Home Office licensed sponsor, plus a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). Without sponsorship you generally cannot apply on this route.

Stay length follows your Certificate of Sponsorship and visa grant — often aligned with your job offer, commonly up to five years, with extensions possible if you still meet the rules. After continuous qualifying residence, some applicants may later apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).

Yes. Your spouse or civil partner and dependent children under 18 can usually apply as dependants. Each dependant needs their own application, fees and Immigration Health Surcharge where applicable.

There is no fixed PKR bank balance that guarantees approval. Where maintenance funds are required, show clear evidence consistent with UKVI rules for your case — often a set amount held for a stated period if your sponsor does not certify maintenance. EasyVisa can help you prepare the right financial evidence for your profile.

UKVI will issue a written refusal explaining the reasons. Depending on your case, you may be able to appeal, seek administrative review, or submit a fresh application that addresses the issues. EasyVisa can review a refusal and advise on clearer next steps — without guaranteeing a different outcome.
