I'm on a UK Graduate visa — how do I switch to a Skilled Worker visa before it expires?

You can generally switch from inside the UK once you have a job offer from a licensed sponsor. The employer assigns you a Certificate of Sponsorship, the role must be at an eligible skill level, and the salary must meet the threshold — though Graduate visa holders often qualify for lower "new entrant" rates. Start job hunting early: leaving it until your final months is the most common mistake. Rules change, so confirm details on GOV.UK.
