FAQs
What is a company sponsorship licence and why do I need one?
A company sponsorship licence allows UK-based businesses to legally employ skilled workers from outside the UK. Without this licence, you cannot sponsor or hire non-UK nationals under the Skilled Worker visa route.
How long does it take to obtain a sponsorship licence?
The processing time for a sponsorship licence application typically takes around 8 weeks. However, it may vary depending on the completeness of your application and whether the Home Office requires additional information or a compliance visit.
Can your solicitors help with ongoing compliance after the licence is granted?
Yes, our solicitors provide ongoing support to ensure your business remains compliant with UK immigration laws. This includes advice on record-keeping, reporting duties, and preparing for potential Home Office audits.
