Are you struggling to recruit staff in the UK? If so, have you considered recruiting workers from outside the UK or individuals already in the UK who require sponsorship to work for your business?

How do you sponsor a migrant worker?

You can sponsor an overseas worker or non-settled worker already within the UK if you have a valid sponsor licence and the job they will be doing has a suitable rate of pay and skill level, in addition to other criteria.

What are the main UK visa options for businesses?

Under the UK’s points-based immigration system, the main visa routes for non-settled workers include:

• Skilled Worker visas
• Global Business Mobility visa: Senior/Specialist Worker visas, abbreviated to GBM: Senior/Specialist Worker
• Temporary Worker visas

Each of these visa types requires sponsorship by a licensed employer.
