How to sponsor workers from outside the UK

UK businesses can sponsor overseas worker or non-settled worker already within the UK once successfully being granted a sponsor licence.

Eligibility Requirements

To sponsor an overseas or non-settled worker already within the UK, employers must ensure that they offer them a job that they will perform at a suitable rate of pay and skill level, in addition to other criteria.
