A company must hold a sponsorship license before it can sponsor a person under the points-based system. If your company does not have one, it cannot transfer existing employees to the UK, extend the work visa of existing employees, or apply for permission to employ someone from outside the EEA.
After the issuance of the sponsor license to your company, you are allowed to make an application to employ individuals, but the application will be decided on a case-by-case basis. You need to prove that you fully understand the duties and responsibilities expected of you as a sponsor.
A routine audit will be carried out to assess your organisation across five key areas, which we can offer professional advice and guidance on:
• Monitoring immigration status and prevention of illegal working
• Maintaining migrant contact details
• Record keeping
• Migrant tracking and monitoring
• Recruitment practice and professional accreditation
We help our clients to put forward their case – we adapt approach that depends on the size and nature of your organisation, and the category you wish to register under.
Recommendations are made based on our experience and best practice. We carry out all our work with high confidence.
Employers and education providers in the UK are allowed to sponsor non-EEA citizens to work or study in the UK with a sponsorship licence.
The updated UK immigration law and policies are quite difficult to deal with. Even the best HR teams in the UK are finding it difficult to comprehend.
We help start-up businesses and multi-national companies to obtain sponsor license.
Sponsor licence is granted for an initial period of four years. If you want to continue to sponsor any non-EEA citizens, you will need to apply for extension. It is a formal application to the Home Office, and it may require that your organisation undergoes another audit.
