Who needs a licence

Any UK employer that wants to hire a worker who requires sponsorship. That includes restaurants, construction firms, care providers, technology companies and family businesses of every size.

What the Home Office looks at

• Whether the organisation is genuine and operating lawfully in the UK
• Whether the roles to be sponsored are genuine and eligible
• The people named as key personnel on the licence
• HR systems for monitoring sponsored workers
• The organisation's history with the Home Office

Duties after the licence is granted

A licence is the start of the relationship with the Home Office. Sponsors must keep records, report certain events within set time limits and co-operate with compliance visits.

How the process works

Sponsorship work normally begins with the organisation itself: what it does, who it needs to employ, and whether its HR systems can meet sponsor duties.

• Tell us about the business and the roles you need to fill
• Have your eligibility, documents and HR systems reviewed
• Prepare and submit the application or response
• Put processes in place to keep the licence in good standing
