Excellent service. QC responded promptly, provided me with thorough, precise and easy to follow advice. Exactly what I needed when I was stressing about my daughter's citizenship status. Thank you so much.

UK Register of Licensed SponsorsWorker and Temporary Worker
The UK Licensed Sponsor List is a register of organisations licensed by the UK Home Office to sponsor foreign workers under the Worker & Temporary Worker routes (previously known as the Tier 2 visa category). It includes employers approved to hire non-UK residents, enabling them to work in the UK. Below, you will find an up-to-date table of companies holding a Sponsor Licence.

Common questions
About the register
How often is the register updated?
The Home Office publishes the register every working day, and this page picks up each new copy overnight. A company that has just been granted a licence, or has had one suspended or revoked, may not appear correctly until the next update.
Does being on the register mean a company can sponsor me?
It means the company holds a licence for the routes shown. It still has to have a suitable job, pay the required salary and assign you a Certificate of Sponsorship. Companies on the register are not obliged to sponsor anyone.
What does a B rating mean?
A B rating means the Home Office has downgraded the licence, usually after finding compliance problems. A B-rated sponsor cannot assign new Certificates of Sponsorship until it completes a sponsor action plan and returns to an A rating.
Our company isn’t on the register. What should we do?
You need to apply for a sponsor licence. The Home Office fee is £611 for small or charitable sponsors and £1,682 for medium or large sponsors. Most applications are decided within eight weeks, or about ten working days with the £750 priority service.
Does a sponsor licence need renewing?
No. Licences no longer expire after four years, except for UK Expansion Worker and Scale-up. A licence stays valid as long as you keep meeting your sponsor duties and the Home Office does not suspend or revoke it.
