The Skilled Worker visa and UK PR serve different purposes and stages of migration. The Skilled Worker visa is the first step, allowing you to live and work in the UK for up to five years under employer sponsorship. It is renewable and provides a path toward permanent residency. UK PR (Indefinite Leave to Remain), on the other hand, is the long-term goal, offering complete freedom to work, study, or start a business without restrictions. Most applicants begin with a Skilled Worker visa and then transition to PR after meeting the five-year continuous residence requirement.
