Am I Eligible for a Sponsor Licence?

To apply for a sponsor licence your organisation must provide proof of the following:

• It is a legally operating business in the UK.
• Key personnel have been appointed, and they are of good character and dependable.
• Your HR systems can manage all sponsorship duties.
• Your business is offering employment suitable for skill requirements, which are genuine and meet minimum salary guidelines.

When you book a free consultation with us, we can clarify each of these points with you to ensure you’re eligible.

Should I Apply for the Licence Myself?

Sponsor licence applications aren’t as simple as filling out a form. There’s no room for error when proving that you’re eligible. You’ll need to assign critical roles within your organisation for an authorising officer, key contact (your main point of contact with UKVI) and a level 1 user (responsible for the day-to-day management of your licence using the SMS). And you’ll have to be fully prepared for the Home Office inspection visit at any time. If you get it wrong, your application may be disapproved, and you may not be able to apply again for 6 months. This can be disastrous for your business expansion plans. The Home Office is becoming increasingly strict about compliance, and we regularly hear from companies who have tried applying for themselves and failed.
