UK Immigration Has Changed!

If you're working in the UK on a Level 3 visa (care worker, support worker, teachers assistant etc.), PLEASE READ THIS:

After July 2025, new care workers will NOT be allowed into the UK. That means the Level 3 route is ending for overseas migrants.

So what happens to those already in the UK?

You need to upgrade your qualification to Level 6 if you want to:

Stay long-term

Change visa type

Apply for better-paying jobs

Move into skilled positions (e.g. team lead, health manager, public health, etc.)


Most people don’t even know they already have what it takes to level up.
If you have HND or BSc from Nigeria (even if not in health) you may already qualify!

Reply with your questions.

Yes most Nigerian with a degree from a government approved Univeristy or Polytechnic are qualified. But they'll need a top up diploma if their degree doesn't align with their current job.

That top up diploma will get their skill base qualification to Level 6 which is now the required minimum.

I'll be happy to chat with anyone and provide guidance and assistance where necessary.

I'm not sure if it'll help on the travel platform. I thought it best for education since many UK based Nigerians tend to look for assignment support there. But if the mods don't move it then I'll post it there also.

This is a very helpful information shared here.. Weldon 👍

What about people who would like to come in via sponsored job?

Immigration laws are tighter now so any job sponsorship must be for a Level 6 type of job. That is a job that requires a degree to get.

However it's best to speak with your sponsor there might be ways they can work around it from there especially if the sponsorship has already been offered before the change.

If you still need more information or support academically kindly reach out.
