United Kingdom Skilled Worker & Health and Care Worker — Financial Requirements

The UK Skilled Worker and Health and Care Worker routes require you to show you can support yourself on arrival. The amount is small and fixed; the rule around it is not. The Home Office applies the 28-day rule strictly, and applications are refused for timing and formatting errors far more often than for genuinely insufficient funds.

Financial Requirements

At least £1,270 held for 28 consecutive days. The balance must not drop below £1,270 on any single day inside that window — one dip resets it. The closing balance on your statement must be dated within 31 days of the date you apply. If your sponsor is A-rated and certifies maintenance on your Certificate of Sponsorship, you are exempt from showing the funds yourself.

Processing & Documentation

We time the documentation to the 28-day window, confirm the closing balance falls inside the 31-day limit, and prepare bank statements, balance confirmation letters and source of funds evidence in the format UKVI expects. Processing typically takes 24–48 hours.

FAQs — United Kingdom Skilled Worker & Health and Care Worker

Common questions about show money for United Kingdom skilled worker & health and care worker

Does the £1,270 have to be my own money?

It must be held in your name, or in a joint account you are named on. It cannot sit in a parent's or friend's account on your behalf. The alternative is sponsor certification of maintenance, which removes the requirement entirely.

What happens if my balance dipped below £1,270 during the 28 days?

The 28-day clock restarts from the day the balance returns above £1,270 and stays there. This is the single most common avoidable refusal on this route, which is why we plan the window before the money moves rather than after.

Is the requirement different for the Health and Care Worker visa?

The maintenance amount and the 28-day rule are the same £1,270. Health and Care Worker sponsors certify maintenance more often than other employers, so check your Certificate of Sponsorship first — if it is certified, you do not need to show the funds.
