🇬🇧 United Kingdom — UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI)
The UK Skilled Worker visa replaced the old Tier 2 (General) visa in December 2020. Korean nationals need a job offer from a UK-licensed sponsor before applying. Korean document requirements for the Skilled Worker visa are lighter than for permanent residence applications, but some professional licensing bodies (NMC, GMC, GPhC) require apostilled Korean credentials as part of their registration process.

Does UKVI require apostilled Korean documents for the Skilled Worker visa?
UKVI's online application primarily requires uploads of your passport, Certificate of Sponsorship reference, and financial documents. Apostilled Korean credentials are not typically required for the visa itself — but may be required by your UK professional licensing body before you can work in your regulated profession.
I am a Korean nurse applying to work in the UK (NHS). What documents do I need apostilled?
NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) registration for Korean-trained nurses requires your Korean nursing diploma and transcripts, apostilled and with certified English translations. NMC also requires a 'Certificate of Current Professional Status' from the Korean Nurses Association. The document process typically takes 6–12 months alongside the CBT and OSCE assessments.
