UK Immigration for Indians – Skilled Worker Visa, PR & Citizenship Pathway
The United Kingdom has long been a preferred destination for Indian professionals due to its world-class healthcare, global career opportunities, and inclusive society. With the introduction of the Skilled Worker Visa, the UK has streamlined its immigration system to welcome international talent. Indians now have a structured path to work, settle, and bring their families to the UK with ease. Whether you’re in IT, healthcare, engineering, finance, or education, the UK offers a clear pathway to Permanent Residency (Indefinite Leave to Remain – ILR) and British Citizenship, along with access to free healthcare (NHS), education, and public services.
