Indefinite leave to remain if you have a Scale-up Worker visa
Financial requirements
You must meet the requirements for both:
- your current salary
- your earnings over the past 3 years
Your current salary
You must be employed and earn a certain salary when you apply. How much you must earn depends on when you got your most recent certificate of sponsorship.
If you got your certificate of sponsorship on or after 4 April 2024
You must earn a salary of at least £36,300 per year.
If you got your last certificate of sponsorship on or after 12 April 2023 and before 4 April 2024
You must earn a salary of at least £34,600 per year.
If you got your last certificate of sponsorship on or before 11 April 2023
You must earn a salary of at least £33,000 per year.
Your earnings over the past 3 years
You must have been earning a certain amount for at least 2 of the 3 years immediately before the date you apply. The amount depends on when you got your most recent certificate of sponsorship.
You can include salaries from more than one job if you earned a monthly salary equivalent to at least the relevant salary in each job.
If you had more than one job at the same time, only include the highest earning salary.
You cannot count self-employed earnings towards the minimum earnings requirement. This is because your salary is not paid through PAYE (Pay as You Earn).
If you got your last certificate of sponsorship on or before 11 April 2023
You must have earned a monthly salary equivalent to at least £33,000 per year for at least 2 of the 3 years immediately before you apply.
If you got your last certificate of sponsorship after 11 April 2023 and before 4 April 2024
You must have earned a monthly salary equivalent to at least £34,600 per year for at least 2 of the 3 years immediately before you apply.
If you got your certificate of sponsorship on or after 4 April 2024
You must have earned a monthly salary equivalent to at least £36,300 per year for at least 2 of the 3 years immediately before you apply.
