Arabic Translation for Skilled Worker Visa

The UK Skilled Worker visa requires applicants to provide certified English translations of their qualifications, employment history, and identity documents. We specialise in translating Arabic academic certificates, professional qualifications, and employment contracts to meet UKVI standards. Same-day service is available for urgent applications.

The Skilled Worker Visa (formerly Tier 2) allows employers to recruit qualified workers from outside the UK. Applicants from Arabic-speaking countries need a valid Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from a licensed UK employer. All supporting documents in Arabic must be accompanied by certified English translations. The visa can be granted for up to 5 years and leads to eligibility for settlement.
