Visas: Care Workers and Health Professions

Asked by Jack RankinConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 6 February 2025UIN 27432

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her department records the (a) employment and (b) earnings of (i) people who arrived in the UK on a Health and Care Worker visa and (ii) their dependents.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Every migrant is required to submit a valid certificate of sponsorship (CoS) that details their employment and earnings whenever they apply for a skilled worker (including a Health and Care) visa. These details remain on our Sponsor Management System.

Home Office staff carry out compliance checks on the employers that sponsor the migrant workers to verify their roles and earnings. No equivalent data is currently collected in respect of their dependents.
