The Scale-up worker visa allows fast-growing businesses to employ highly skilled workers from around the world to expand even further. Unlike employing skilled workers, employers can sponsor a scale-up worker for 6 months and after this period, their sponsorship duties end which means that they do not need to report to the Home Office. Also, if you are a scale-up sponsor, you can employ scale-up workers under the unsponsored scale-up route from within the UK if they have already been sponsored by another company for the first 6 months of their visa.  In addition, there is no Immigration Skills Charge to pay.
