Applying for a Sponsor Licence
When hiring a migrant worker, a sponsor licence is typically required to legally employ someone from outside the UK.
To obtain a sponsorship licence, you must demonstrate that you are a legitimate organisation operating lawfully in the UK. You need to showcase your awareness of and ability to fulfill your visa sponsorship responsibilities, with the necessary HR and recruitment systems and practices in place.
We will assist in preparing your application and provide training on your responsibilities as a Sponsor Licence Holder.
Usually, you are classified as a small sponsor if at least two of the following apply:
- Your business's annual turnover is £10.2 million or less
- Your total business assets are valued at £5.1 million or less
- You have 50 employees or fewer
The current Home Office sponsor licence fee is £536 for small employers and £1,476 for medium and large sponsors.
Issuing Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to Candidates
Before sponsoring a migrant worker, you must assign a Certificate of Sponsorship to confirm visa requirements have been met. This is done through the Sponsor Management System (SMS) portal. The CoS reference is used by the new Skilled Worker for their visa application to the Home Office. The CoS can only be used for employment with your company throughout the visa duration.
Preparing Visa Application
We will handle the visa application and all legal paperwork for the candidate. They need a valid passport and a clear TB test result if they have lived in a listed country within the last 6 months. Most Skilled Worker Visa applicants must meet the English language requirement by achieving a minimum B1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference. We assist in organizing this. The Immigration Skills Charge ranges from £364 to £1,000 per year, depending on employer size. This charge must be paid by the employer for the visa duration.
