Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of an LMIA for UK IT jobs?

The LMIA's main purpose is for a UK employer to prove they need to hire a foreign worker, like an IT professional from Kenya, because no suitable local candidate is available. It's a key step in the work visa application process.

Can an individual apply for an LMIA themselves?

No, the LMIA application must be initiated and processed by the prospective UK employer. As an IT professional in Kenya, your role is to provide them with all necessary information about your qualifications and experience.

How can Getso Consultants assist Kenyan IT professionals with LMIA-related queries?

Getso Consultants can advise Kenyan IT professionals on understanding the LMIA process from their perspective, help prepare supporting documentation for their prospective employer, and offer general guidance on navigating international career moves.
