Employers & Education Sponsor Licence

Sponsoring Migrant Workers Licence
Every UK based employer intending to employ overseas nationals must have a licence to sponsor skilled workers, temporary workers or students under the new points-based system.

Before you can apply, you must have good human resource systems and compliance in place to allow you to monitor and keep records of the migrants you employ or teach.

Sponsors are expected to take responsibility for making sure that migrants comply with their immigration conditions, by keeping records on each migrant, and reporting any changes, such as if they do not turn up for work. If you do not comply with your duties, you can have your licence downgraded or withdrawn.

The UK Visa Agency specialists can ensure that all your sponsor’s licensing requirements are met and handle your applications under the Tier 2 and tier 5 worker categories completely and comprehensively, leaving you free to find your ideal employee.

Sponsoring Students Licence

The expert staff at The UK Visa Agency can assist educational institutions with compliance, being able to show that you are inspected, audited and accredited by one of the UK Border Agency’s approved bodies; be able to comply with your sponsorship duties; and have the appropriate human resource systems in place to be able to monitor your students’ attendance.

We will assist you in successful obtaining your Tier 4 sponsor licence and issuing the relevant letters of acceptance and sponsors certificates to your foreign students.
