The Ultimate Guide To Applying For A Tier 2 Sponsor License


Tier 2 sponsor license was established by the UKVI to let UK companies employ skilled and talented workers from non-EU countries. To obtain the license, UK employers must first apply for an application to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), on the other hand, non-EEA nationals must have a job offer from an employer that has made a successful sponsor license application before they can apply to come to, or remain in the UK for work.

The sponsorship license is valid for 4 years and may be downgraded, suspended or even withdrawn should the company not meet its responsibilities as a sponsor.

Once a sponsorship license has been granted, the company will be issued with a license rating. This enables the employer to begin assigning Certificates of Sponsorship which are required as part of each non-EEA individual’s Immigration Application under Tier 2 of the points-based system.

Main Eligibility Requirements For A Tier 2 Sponsor License Application

· Company is capable of carrying out your sponsor duties and evidencing your compliance in an appropriate time frame and manner;

The Home Office conducts thorough checks on the company’s background to identify that:

- Is the company capable of carrying out your sponsor duties and evidencing your compliance in a time frame and manner as per regulation? 

- Can the company offer genuine employment that meets the required skill level and appropriate rates of pay?

- Is the company a genuine organization operating lawfully in the UK?
