The Scale-up visa has two applications, sponsored and unsponsored. A scale-up worker can do an unsponsored job if they meet certain criteria. The main requirement is that they have already worked on a Scale-up visa in the UK for a UK scale-up sponsor for a minimum of 6 months and have earned at least £33,000 per year. Having an unsponsored job means that workers can work for any other employer without being tied to a specific one and having to reapply to renew their visa.
