Question 1

Does The City of Edinburgh Council sponsor Skilled Worker visas in 2026?

Yes. The City of Edinburgh Council holds a licence on the UK Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors (Worker (A rating), Skilled Worker route), so it can legally issue Certificates of Sponsorship for eligible roles.

Question 2

What salary do I need to be sponsored by The City of Edinburgh Council?

Accepted Answer

Under the 2026 rules, Skilled Worker roles generally require at least £41,700 per year, or £33,400 if you qualify as a New Entrant (recent graduate, under 26, or switching from a Graduate visa). Some occupations have higher going rates set by their SOC code.

Can The City of Edinburgh Council sponsor me if the job ad doesn't mention visa sponsorship?
