I will talk about tentative timeframe of process applying Sponsor Licence Application in this video.
When you need to hire Non-EU skilled workers, the timeline to be approved for your Sponsor Licence is important. A strong application always includes good documentation, and the time to assemble the documentation varies. A well-organised business can do this quickly, and we can assist you in identifying and assembling the necessary information.
The greatest length of time often depends on whether you need a Residence Labour Market Test also known as RLMT. This must be conducted for most applications and requires that you advertise for the position you need to fill for a minimum of 28 days. You advertise immediately, even before you have submitted your application.
Once your application is submitted, the Home Office will take one of two approaches. If it appears your organisation is not at risk for violating sponsorship guidelines, and your application is complete, they will approve you for a Sponsor Licence in about three weeks.
If the Home Office has any concerns about your application, they will schedule a time to conduct an on-site assessment before rendering a decision. In this case, it will take five to eight weeks for a decision.
The best approach is to prepare a strong, complete application that will assure the Home Office your needs for Non-EU skilled workers are legitimate, and your organisation will undertake all sponsorship duties with full compliance.
