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.
