What is a UK sponsor licence?

A sponsor licence is permission granted by the UK Home Office to an employer, allowing them to hire workers from outside the UK on certain visa routes. Organisations must meet strict compliance requirements to hold and maintain their licence.

How to use this directory

Use the search bar to find companies by name, or filter by city, county, visa route type, or sponsor rating. This helps identify employers authorised to sponsor your UK work visa.

Visa routes explained

The most common route is the Skilled Worker visa, which replaced the former Tier 2 (General) visa. Other routes include Global Business Mobility for multinational staff transfers, Seasonal Worker, and Creative Worker visas.

Sponsor ratings

Sponsors are rated A or B. An A rating means the organisation has passed all compliance checks. A B rating means the sponsor has breached duties and is on an action plan. Only A-rated sponsors can assign new certificates of sponsorship.

Sponsorship License Holders Vs Visa Sponsoring Companies

A visa sponsorship license holder does not necessarily sponsor visas due to various reasons, such as cost. However, knowing the company you are applying for has the license is a good starting point.
