Fisa Gweithiwr Medrus
O 22 Gorffennaf 2025, cynyddodd y Llywodraeth y trothwy cyflog a’r lefel sgiliau ar gyfer fisâu Gweithwyr Medrus. Nid yw'r rôl hon yn bodloni'r meini prawf cymhwysedd ar gyfer nawdd yn unol â'r rheolau mewnfudo cyfredol os ydych chi'n edrych i wneud cais am fisa gweithiwr medrus am y tro cyntaf.
Ni all yr Adran ystyried eich noddi ar gyfer y rôl hon oni bai eich bod wedi meddu ar fisa Gweithiwr Medrus yn barhaus ers cyn 22 Gorffennaf 2025.

Os ydych yn gwneud cais am y rôl hon ac nad ydych yn bodloni’r meini prawf cymhwysedd newydd ar gyfer nawdd (neu’r darpariaethau pontio), bydd angen i chi ystyried eich opsiynau ar gyfer cael a/neu gynnal eich hawl i weithio yn y DU yng ngoleuni’r newidiadau hyn.

Gall gweithwyr MoJ wneud cais am gyfleoedd FTA yn MoJ sy'n cael eu hysbysebu ar raddfa uwch na'u gradd sylweddol gyfredol. Pan fydd gweithiwr yn derbyn FTA ar ddyrchafiad, bydd yr hyrwyddiad hwn dros dro, a bydd y gweithiwr yn dychwelyd i’w radd sylweddol ar ôl dychwelyd i’w ardal fusnes leol, yn unol â’r polisi benthyciad ar gyfer benthyciadau OGD. Cyn gwneud cais, rhaid i weithwyr ofyn am gymeradwyaeth gan eu rheolwyr llinell i sicrhau y gellir eu rhyddhau drwy gydol yr FTA a gallent ddychwelyd i'w rôl sylweddol ar y diwedd. Os nad oes rôl ar gael ar ddiwedd y FTA, bydd y gweithiwr yn destun adleoli ac o bosibl gweithdrefnau colli swydd.
Benthyciadau
Bydd telerau'r benthyciad neu'r ddyletswydd ar wahân yn cael eu cytuno rhwng yr adran gartref a'r adran letyol a'r Gwas Sifil. Mae hyn yn cynnwys gradd wrth ddychwelyd. Dylid cael cytundeb ymlaen llaw i’w ryddhau ar sail benthyciad neu ddyletswydd ar wahân cyn dechrau’r broses ymgeisio.
