There are several differences and we advise you to contact us to discuss your options if you need to choose between them. The key differences are:
- Skilled Worker visa needs a sponsor; Graduate visa is unsponsored
- Skilled Worker is a route to settlement; Graduate visa is not
- Dependants are allowed on Skilled Worker but not on Graduate visa unless they were already dependants on the Student visa
- Study is allowed on Skilled Worker but is very restricted on Graduate visa
- Skilled Worker visa is for the length of the employment contract, but Graduate visa is either two years (most graduates) or three years (PhD graduates only) regardless of your contract.
