Sponsor Licence

Employers who wish to recruit from abroad must firstly obtain a Sponsor Licence from the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI). Once the licence is obtained, the organisation will be able to issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to potential employees.

Potential employees will then have to satisfy the criteria for the visa they are applying for such as Tier 2 General.

The rules and documents required for an organisation to obtain a licence are complicated and vary according to the precise type of organisation and which categories of worker they wish to be able to employ. After obtaining the licence, there are various procedures and duties which the organisation must follow.
