Authorisation for UK employers to hire skilled workers from overseas.
A UK Sponsor Licence is a formal permission granted by the Home Office that allows UK employers to recruit overseas nationals under the Skilled Worker, Health & Care Worker and other work-based immigration routes.
Wizeadvice analyses your organisation's needs, prepares a comprehensive application and manages the entire process — from initial assessment to Sponsor Management System (SMS) setup.
We review whether your organisation meets the Home Office's eligibility and compliance criteria.
We establish your Sponsor Management System accounts and assign key personnel roles.
We compile all required supporting evidence for the Home Office application.
We submit the application via GOV.UK and manage the licence fee payment.
We prepare you for any pre-licence compliance visit the Home Office may conduct.
Once your licence is granted, we guide you on issuing Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to your recruits.
