1. What is a UK Sponsor Licence?
A UK Sponsor Licence is a document issued by the UK Home Office to employers that allows them to recruit and sponsor non-UK nationals (including EU nationals entering the UK from 1st January 2021) for Tier 2 and Tier 5 visa categories. The sponsor licence acts as proof that the sponsor is a legitimate business and that they are capable of fulfilling their sponsorship obligations.
2. Who needs a UK Sponsor Licence?
UK Employers that wish to employ non-UK nationals (including EU nationals entering the UK from 1st January 2021) for Tier 2 and Tier 5 visa categories are required to apply for and hold a valid UK Sponsor Licence.
3. How to apply for a UK Sponsor Licence?
To apply for a UK Sponsor Licence, the employer needs to follow the sponsor license guidance and complete an online sponsor licence application form and pay the appropriate fee. They will also need to provide detailed information about their organization, including its size and structure, as well as information about the specific roles they wish to sponsor. The application process can take several weeks to complete, and it is important to have all the necessary documents and information ready before starting the application. The process of sponsorship licence application can be complex, and WorkPermitCloud can assist with this.
4. Responsibilities of a UK Sponsor Licence holder
Once granted a UK Sponsor Licence, the sponsor is responsible for monitoring the progress and compliance of their sponsored workers and must inform the Home Office of any changes in the sponsored worker's circumstances. They also need to comply with the sponsor guidance and report any breach of the visa conditions. A robust HR system is required by the Home Office to comply with the sponsor duties.
5. Revocation or suspension of UK Sponsor Licence
The Home Office may revoke or suspend a UK Sponsor Licence if it determines that the sponsor is no longer capable of fulfilling their sponsorship obligations or if they are found to have breached their sponsorship obligations. This could result in severe consequences for the sponsor and their sponsored workers, so it is important to always ensure compliance with the sponsorship duties.
