3 Tips Before Applying Sponsor Licence by A Y & J Solicitors

Home > Video > 3 Tips Before Applying Sponsor Licence by A Y & J Solicitors

Before You Apply

We are a specialised UK immigration law firm.
I want to share 3 important points, you must consider before applying for a Sponsor Licence.

1. Each organisation applying for a Sponsor Licence must already have a trading presence in the UK and be set up for lawful business operations.

2. You must have at least one individual already in your employ in the UK who will be responsible for ensuring all sponsor duties are carried out. The Home Office is looking for authentic, credible organisations that will take their responsibilities as a Sponsor Licence holder seriously.

3. Genuine vacancy- Most foreign worker positions are filled by Sponsor Licence holders that fall under the Tier 2 category for skilled workers. You must ensure that these potential employees are suitable for the role they will fill. Generally, this means that they must have at least graduate level training and qualify under an approved occupation code as set by The Home Office.

Each foreign worker must be paid a minimum salary, pass an English language requirement, and have no criminal or immigration charges. You must also show that you were unable to fill the designated role from within the UK workforce. All these aspects are necessary for a successful Sponsor Licence application.

Do you require more information/assistance to apply for a sponsor license? If yes, please get in touch.

Our contact details are at the bottom of this video and we are happy to help. Thank you.

Transforming Lives: Real Stories of Client Satisfaction

"I was very fortunate to find AY&J Solicitors to assist me with my visa situation. My case was particularly complex. My previous visa was close to expiring, and my partner and I had scheduled our marriage for nearly three months after its expiry. At that time, I genuinely believed I had no choice but to leave the UK. However, from the very first call with AY&J, I felt reassured that I was in safe hands. They assigned Imad to my case, and he provided clear, professional advice. He explained that I could apply to extend my stay within the UK and submit a new application after our marriage, which was a huge relief for us. Throughout the entire application process, Imad carefully guided me, helping to organise all the required documents and ensuring everything was prepared with great attention to detail. I am truly grateful for their support and professionalism. Choosing AY&J Solicitors was definitely the right decision."
