Visa Eligibility Wizard

3 min read

Score one employee profile against every supported visa route across 15 countries in seconds. Use the wizard for hiring decisions, salary benchmarking and shortlisting destination countries.

Visa Eligibility Wizard

The Eligibility Wizard sits inside the Global Mobility workspace and is the fastest way to score an employee profile against every visa route Workium supports. Useful when:

You are deciding whether a candidate qualifies for sponsorship before extending an offer
You are choosing between two destination countries for a relocation
You want to benchmark a salary against multiple routes at once
You are scoping a relocation programme and need a feasibility view

How It Works

1Navigate to Mobility → Eligibility
2Fill in the profile form on the left:
Salary amount, currency, frequency (annual / monthly)
Qualifications (PhD / Master's / Bachelor's / Vocational / None)
Age (used for some country-specific thresholds e.g. NL Highly Skilled Migrant)
Has confirmed job offer (checkbox)
3Optionally tick destination countries (none = score against all 15)
4Click 'Run eligibility'

The wizard calls /api/business/mobility/eligibility/check and returns a sorted list of every route the profile matched, with the eligible routes pinned to the top.

Reading the Results

Each result row shows:

Route label and country code
Threshold amount and frequency
Your normalised annual figure
Score (0-100) — combines salary fit (60), qualification fit (25) and job-offer (15)
Verdict — eligible / borderline / ineligible
Qualification warning where applicable (e.g. 'this route typically requires a recognised university degree')
Notes from the official guidance

The top 5 results are highlighted with an emerald ring. These are the routes you should focus on first.

Qualifications Logic

Routes that imply degree-level qualifications (Blue Card, Highly Qualified Professional, Skilled Worker (qualified), etc.) automatically downgrade your score if you select Vocational or None. The full list of degree-implying route IDs is maintained inside the backend mobility config and updated as governments change their guidance.

Salary Normalisation

Monthly salaries are converted to annual using salary × 12. Weekly: × 52. Hourly: × 40 × 52. The wizard always compares like-for-like annual figures.

Currency Handling

The wizard does NOT do automatic FX. If you provide a salary in EUR and the route's threshold is in GBP, the comparison will not be apples-to-apples. The Salary Checker tab (sibling tool) flags currency mismatches explicitly. Workaround: convert your candidate's salary to the route's currency before running.

Limitations

Going-rate and SOC-code-specific minimums are NOT applied at the wizard layer. Use the Permit creation flow to get a permit-level salary check that respects route-id thresholds.
Some routes (e.g. UK Global Talent) are endorsement-based and have no salary threshold — you will see threshold_amount=0 and the verdict will favour eligible.
The wizard returns a snapshot, not a legal opinion. Always validate with a regulated immigration adviser before extending an offer.

Power-User Tips

Run the wizard with NO countries selected first to see your top routes globally.
Rerun with just the top countries selected for a focused comparison.
Save the URL with form state in the query string for sharing (coming Q3 2026).
Combine with the Salary Checker tab when a single route is in scope for a more detailed verdict.
