Hi there,

What would happen where someone accepts a job offer in the UK, receives a skilled worker visa, and later decides not to join that organization?

I would like to know what issues one might face in this situation? Should the employee be forced to return the COS + Visa fees? Will there be any legal issues the employee might face?

Thanks in advance.

What has to be repaid to a sponsor is entirely based on what the employment terms are. This has nothing to do with the immigration rules.

If you don't take up employment, the visa will be cancelled and you could be left with no legal status in the UK.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Since the visa would be cancelled, will it have any impact when applying for the skilled worker visa in the future through another employer?
