Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sponsor licence, and why do I need one?

A sponsor licence allows UK businesses to legally hire skilled workers from outside the UK. Without it, you cannot sponsor visas for international employees.

Can I sponsor an employee who is already in the UK?

Yes, if the individual is already in the UK on a visa that allows switching to a Skilled Worker visa, you can sponsor them. They’ll need to meet the requirements for the Skilled Worker route, and you’ll need to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship for their application.

How long does it take to obtain a sponsor licence?

The Home Office typically processes applications within 8 weeks. However, using the priority service can expedite this to 10 working days for an additional fee.

What are the costs associated with a sponsor licence?

The application fee depends on your organisation's size: £536 for small businesses and £1,476 for medium or large businesses.

Can I reapply if my application is refused?

Yes, you can reapply after a refusal. However, it's crucial to address the reasons for the initial refusal before reapplying. There may be a cooling-off period, typically 6 months, depending on the refusal reasons.
