Final Interview Coming Up? Don’t Let This Question Ruin It

If you've reached the final round with a sponsoring company after following our Skilled Worker Visa job search strategies — there's one critical question you’ll almost certainly be asked:

“Do you have the right to work in the UK?”

💡 Here’s how NOT to answer: Avoid giving long-winded, vague, or uncertain replies. If you fumble this, your CV is likely headed straight to the “rejected” pile.

✅ The Right Way to Answer

“Yes, I currently have full right to work in the UK on my PSW visa. I’m also fully eligible to switch to a Skilled Worker visa at any time. The process is straightforward — I’ve done my research and can handle my side independently, so it won’t create extra work for you. My focus is on building long-term impact with your team, and the visa simply ensures I can continue doing that seamlessly.”

Why this works:

• It shows clarity, confidence, and ownership

• It reframes the visa as a formality, not a burden

• It keeps the employer’s focus on your value, not your visa status
