OUR STORY
Dose my company need sponsor licence
Every UK based company, looking to employ EU / non-EU nationals, must obtain a sponsor licence. It allows your business to issue a certificate of sponsorship to your new (or existing) employee, permitting them to work for your business in an eligible role.
Hire from outside the UK or from within the UK
If you are looking to hire someone from within the UK, you can do so if the individual is currently on a temporary visa or if they work for another sponsoring company. You can also sponsor an international student studying in the UK; this allows your business to broaden its talent pool with access to global markets. If you want to improve your diversity, equality and inclusion (DE&I) credentials, sponsoring an employee is a fantastic way to achieve this, as you access a much broader set of skills from different backgrounds.
WHY WORK WITH US
What types of sponsor licences are available?
Depending on your business type, there are different categories of sponsor licences available. If your business meets the necessary requirements, you can apply for one of the following categories:

commonly under the Skilled
Worker route
Temporary workers
specific temporary

01. How long does it take for a UK employer to get a sponsor licence?
The standard processing time for a sponsor licence application is 8 weeks. However, this can vary depending on whether you have provided the correct documentation in the right format as part of the application process and whether you have given accurate information on the application form. There is an option to get a quicker decision within 10 working days if you pay an extra £500.
02. How much does it cost an employer to sponsor in the UK?
The costs involved with sponsoring a worker depend on the size of the company and the type of licence required. For instance, for a standard worker sponsor licence medium or large companies must pay £1476 and small companies must pay £536. There are additional costs involved too such as paying to assign a certificate of sponsorship which is £199 and, in some cases, paying the immigration skills charge which for small businesses is £364 and for large businesses is £1000.
03. What is a sponsorship certificate?
A sponsorship certificate or certificate of sponsorship (CoS) is an electronic document with a unique reference number that is given to the foreign worker by the sponsoring employer to prove that they have permission to work in the UK for the sponsoring company. All UK sponsors must apply for and assign a certificate of sponsorship to all foreign employees applying for a visa. There are two types of certificates of sponsorship, undefined and defined.
04. What is an Immigration Skills Charge?
Depending on the type of worker that you hire, you may be required to pay an Immigration Skills Charge. This is an additional charge that the Home Office collects if you employ skilled workers or senior or specialist workers. Small businesses will need to pay £364 for the first 12 months and £182 for each additional 6-month period, whereas medium or large companies will be charged £1000 and then £500 for each 6-month period after.
05. Who pays the fees, the employee or the employer?
The employer will need to pay for their sponsor licence application, the certificates of sponsorship and the Immigration Skills Charge. Whereas the employee may pay for their visa application.
06. Who is eligible for a Skilled Worker visa in the UK?
Someone can be eligible for a Skilled Worker visa if they have a job offer from a sponsoring company in the UK for a job that is on the list of skilled worker occupations. The skilled worker must have the required skills and experience to undergo the role in the company and have the required level of English language ability.
