SPONSOR LICENCE

中文  |   日本語

A Sponsor is a UK based organisation that wishes to employ an overseas applicant in the UK. In order to sponsor applicants, an employer is required to have registered with the UK Visas and Immigration as a Licensed Sponsor. The employer must meet certain requirements for the particular category of worker visas and accept certain responsibilities to help with immigration control.

 

The Sponsor will need to assign a Certificate of Sponsorship before an applicant can apply for leave to enter the UK or remain in the UK under work visa. Beaumont Park Associates provide professional advice and guidance for employers for obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship which acts as an assurance that the applicant is able to undertake a particular job and intends to do so.

Sponsorship Duties

The Sponsor has a number of record keeping and reporting duties for the applicants that it sponsors.

 

  1. Record Keeping Duties:

Keeping copies of the applicant’s passport or UK immigration status document and contact details
