Change of Soc code without job or role change

Post by MIMI2021 » Fri Jun 06, 2025 9:23 pm

Hi,

I wanted to know if I can change my current soc code to a more appropriate one with lower salary threshold without any role or job employment change with the same employer?

Change of soc code will be treated as a new job and will require a new visa application. Your sponsor cannot randomly change your soc code just to make the salary threshold favourable.
I am not a lawyer and do not claim to be one. All my comments here are based on my opinions, experience and interpretation of the appropriate UKVI guidance documents and immigration rules.
