UK visa sponsorship for employers
Eligibility
To get a licence as an employer, you cannot have any unspent criminal convictions for immigration offences or certain other crimes, such as fraud or money laundering.
You also cannot have had a sponsor licence revoked either:
- in the last 12 months
- in the last 24 months, if you’ve had your licence revoked more than once
You’ll need appropriate systems in place to monitor sponsored workers and people to manage sponsorship in your business.
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) will review your application form and supporting documents. They may visit your business to make sure you’re trustworthy and capable of carrying out your duties.
