Certified Translation for Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visa London
The UK Skilled Worker visa (formerly Tier 2) is one of the most document-intensive visa categories. Every foreign-language document in your application must be accompanied by a certified translation. TJURADO specialises in exactly this — fast, Home Office-accepted certified translations for Skilled Worker applications in London.
What Is the Skilled Worker Visa?
The UK Skilled Worker visa replaced the Tier 2 (General) visa in December 2020. It allows overseas nationals to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer. The application process requires substantial documentation, and for applicants whose personal documents are not in English, certified translations are mandatory.
The Home Office takes a strict approach to documentation for Skilled Worker applications. Any document that cannot be verified because of an inadequate or missing translation is likely to result in a refusal or significant delay. TJURADO’s certified translations are specifically formatted to meet Home Office requirements and have been accepted in hundreds of Skilled Worker visa applications.

Professional and Sector-Specific Translation Expertise
The Skilled Worker visa covers a wide range of occupations — from healthcare professionals and engineers to IT specialists and educators. Many of these roles have their own specialist documentation requirements. TJURADO’s team includes translators with backgrounds in medicine, law, engineering, finance, and technology, ensuring that sector-specific terminology is translated with complete accuracy.
For healthcare workers applying through the Health and Care Worker route, we regularly translate medical degrees, nursing registration documents, specialist qualifications, and clinical references.
