UK working visa

[Ju321]

Hi Thankyou for your advice, No nobody has offered him a job, he just applied for one and the agency said he had all the skills and qualifications ect but they would just need him to have a working visa to go ahead with any interviews. They have not asked for any money. They just said to get back to them once he has obtained a working visa, but i thought its impossible for him to get a working visa unless a company is able to support him. That's why i was asking if its possible to apply for a skilled workers visa or any other visa without any sponsorship?

UKBA state:-

Investors, entrepreneurs and exceptionally talented people can apply to enter or stay in the UK without needing a job offer - but you will need to pass a points-based assessment.

Otherwise an approved sponsoring employer is required.
