UK work sponsorship is a process where UK employers with a valid sponsorship license can sponsor foreign nationals to work in the UK under specific visa routes, most commonly the Skilled Worker visa. Only employers with a valid sponsorship license from the UK Home Office can sponsor foreign workers.

Companies on our platform primarily sponsor Skilled Worker visas (formerly Tier 2 General), but many also sponsor other visa routes including Senior or Specialist Worker, Global Business Mobility visas, and Scale-up visas. Each company profile indicates which visa routes they are licensed to sponsor.

No. While companies listed are on the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors, they may only sponsor for specific roles that meet skill level and salary requirements, or they may have restrictions. Having a license doesn't guarantee a company will sponsor for any particular position. Historical data on our platform is for informational purposes only.

Our Skilled Worker eligibility calculator provides a preliminary assessment only and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
