Sponsor Licence

Sponsor foreign workers or students to work in the UK. You will need a licence to employ
someone to work for you from outside the UK or even inside the UK if the potential worker
is a student.

Our team will help your business in securing your sponsor licence.

To get a licence as an employer, you cannot have:

• unspent criminal convictions for immigration offences or certain other crimes,
  such as fraud or money laundering
• had a sponsor licence revoked in the last 12 months

You’ll need appropriate systems in place to monitor sponsored employees and people to manage sponsorship in your business.

UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) will review your application form and supporting documents. They may visit your business to make sure you’re trustworthy and capable of carrying out your duties.

Once you have secured a sponsor licence then your company will be in a position to sponsor migrant workers or students from within the UK who could be in a position to switch their leave to a skilled worker.
