The concept of sponsorship is at the heart of the points-based system. Companies who want to employ a migrant worker must be their sponsor during their stay in the UK. And before the company can sponsor a migrant, they must obtain a sponsor licence.<\/span><\/p>

Companies or organisations can apply for a \u2018Sponsor licence\u2019 if:<\/span><\/p>

  • They are a genuine & legitimate organisation operating lawfully in the UK;<\/span><\/li>
  • They are honest, dependable, reliable, and are not engaging and have not engaged in behaviour or actions that are not conducive to the public good;<\/span><\/li>
  • The organisation ensure that they have the right human resource (HR) recruitment systems in place to comply with your sponsorship duties<\/span><\/li>
  • They can offer genuine employment which meets the skill level and salary requirements;<\/span><\/li>
  • There are no reasons to believe that they are a threat to immigration control<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Once the sponsor licence is granted, they will be given a sponsor rating. For employers, this will be an \u2018A rating\u2019 or a \u2018B rating\u2019, and will be listed on the register of sponsors. Sponsorship licences are valid for 4 years.<\/span><\/p>

    The sponsor must also be A-rated, unless the applicant is applying for an extension to continue working for the same sponsor.<\/span>
    Companies can apply to have different tiers and categories on one licence, or they can have separate licences for different tiers and categories.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
