Sponsor License
We are regulated by the OISC (Office of Immigration Service Commissioner), and our team of experts are ready and waiting to answer your questions.
A sponsor licence in the UK is an authorisation granted by the UK government to organisations that wish to employ foreign workers. This licence allows the organisation to sponsor and hire non-UK workers, ensuring they meet the necessary immigration and employment requirements. It is a legal requirement for employers who want to bring in workers from outside the UK and is subject to certain obligations and responsibilities to maintain compliance with immigration rules. The sponsor licence is an essential component of the UK's immigration system and is necessary for organisations looking to hire non-UK workers.
COMPLIANCE & TRAINING
UK employers sponsoring staff under the Skilled Worker scheme should expect an eventual visit from Visiting Officers of the Home Office’s UK Visas & Immigration Section (UKV&I). These visits have two main objectives:
- To ensure your processes and human resource practises meet the requirements of your sponsorship duties.
- To verify compliance with legal responsibilities concerning the prevention of illegal working and other immigration laws.
Full compliance will earn your company an 'A' rating from the UKV&I. Non-compliance may result in prosecution, the revocation of your licence, or both.
