How to obtain a UK worker sponsor licence?

UK businesses must have a sponsor licence to employ workers who do not have immigration permission to reside and work in the UK.

Following a successful application, UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) grants a sponsor licence to a business, who is then permitted to employ migrant workers not already holding a visa allowing them to work in the UK.

We can support your business with all aspects of hiring non-settled workers. Our UK immigration team provides a comprehensive approach, preparing the entire licence application, taking into account the commercial considerations for your business.
