Sponsor Licences
Sponsor Licences (Tier 2/Tier 5) are required to employ overseas workers to work in the UK. They are usually valid for four years after which the licence will need to be renewed. Sponsors have various responsibilities/duties to act in accordance with the Immigration Rules. If a sponsor fails to do this, compliance action can be taken. To be eligible to apply for a Sponsor Licence, you must be able to demonstrate that your company is registered and currently trading in the UK, your company will comply with the duties and responsibilities required by a sponsor and the role that you are seeking to fill with an employee is genuinely required and meets the appropriate level and salary as required by UKVI.
The Application Process:
An application is submitted with a fee online after which UKVI will make a final decision within 6 to 8 weeks (this can be longer). To support your application, documentary evidence must be sent within five working days of submitting the online application to demonstrate how your organisation meets the requirements. If for any reason, you are unable to provide the supporting documents within the imposed deadline, your application could be deemed invalid or could be refused. This may then impact negatively on any future applications. It is therefore important to do everything correctly the first time.
