Big news for global professionals!
The UK Government has officially released a brand-new Skilled Worker Temporary Shortage List (TSOL) — opening doors to over 70+ medium-skilled occupations for overseas talent ready to build their careers in the UK.

Why This Matters

Defined minimum salary thresholds
Discounted salary rates for new entrants, PhD holders, or those with continuous work visas
