We understand how overwhelming and uncertain the visa process can be, especially when your job and future in the UK are both in danger. Ryanair’s recent decision, as per February 2025, to end visa sponsorship for Moroccan workers. The employees have been given notice of termination of sponsorship after one year, leaving them with no option. If you are also affected by this change, then please be rest assured that you are not alone, as we are here to assist you. Our expert immigration team is committed to resolve this issue for you during this very challenging time in your life.
Ryanair announced in February 2025 that it would discontinue sponsoring UK work visas for Moroccan skilled workers over the age of 26 after just one year of employment. This decision was driven by various considerations, mainly related to wage factors. Previously, Ryanair had recruited Moroccan nationals under the UK’s Skilled Migrant Route, which requires a minimum salary of £25,600 per year, or £20,480 depending on job-specific criteria. The Home Office mandates that skilled workers aged 26 or older must be offered a salary of £25,600 or more.
However, the airline found it more cost-effective to employ EU nationals, who do not need any visas, rather than continue sponsoring Moroccan workers. After this decision, many Moroccan employees have received notices that their contract will end in March 2025, putting them in the hot waters.
Unfortunately, this decision by such a reliable airline has left young skilled migrants anxious and confused.
