Becoming a Sponsor
A company should apply for a sponsorship licence if it is looking to hire people from outside the United Kingdom. The licence is valid for 4 years and can be renewed if the company still employs workers internationally
Applying for a Sponsorship Licence
A company looking to employ a foreign national will need to hold a Sponsorship Licence.
In order to obtain a Sponsorship Licence, you (the authorised signatory responsible for the licence within the company) must demonstrate that:
When applying for the licence, the company will provide a set of documents in support of the application to demonstrate that you meet the requirements of the Home Office.
Holding a Sponsorship Licence is an important responsibility, and the employer must ensure that it is compliant at all times. In this respect, the Home Office may conduct audits at any time to ensure that the company meets the compliance duties.
