Understanding the UK Sponsorship Licence: A Comprehensive Guide

A UK Sponsorship Licence is required for employers wishing to hire foreign workers. This licence allows businesses to sponsor skilled workers under the Skilled Worker route. The application involves paying a fee (£536 for small sponsors and £1,476 for large sponsors), providing detailed information about the business, and ensuring compliance with Home Office regulations. Once granted, the licence is valid for four years and requires ongoing management to maintain its status.
