Sponsor License for EmployersIn order to employ a non-EEA national, the company (‘employer’) must hold a Home Office sponsor license. That license gives you the ability to issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) which are an essential part of the employee’s visa application under either Tier 2 or Tier 5 of the Points Based System.

Applying for a sponsor license can be a lengthy and frustrating process as the Home Office scrutinises every application from top to bottom, and the rules are extremely complex. The documents they accept are strictly prescribed, and you will also have to convince the Home Office that your company is ‘suitable’ and can fulfil your sponsorship duties. Supporting documents either have to be originals or certified copies, and the certification must be done in line with the policy guidance.

Often, companies seek help from us after they have tried applying on their own and ended up being refused due to a lack of supporting documents or the incorrect format in which the documents were prepared. The Home Office has a massive backlog of applications to process, therefore, it is of utmost importance that you submit your application well in advance before employing a non-EEA national. And as explained, getting your application right the first time round is crucial, because you do not want to be waiting for a refusal and then re-apply, whilst your non-EEA employee could have been working for you already.

Sponsorship Licence Requirements 

There are several Sponsorship Licence requirements that you need to meet if you are an employer looking to find out how to get a Sponsor Licence and employ foreign workers:

How to get a Sponsor Licence for your business:

  1. Check that your business is eligible: to be eligible staff members must not have any history of immigration offences, crimes or past failure to meet sponsorship duties.
  2. Decide the type of licence you require: this is determined by the type of worker you want to sponsor.
  3. Nominate the employees that will be responsible for managing your business’ sponsorship: these cannot be shareholders and they must be senior members of the company. You will need to choose at least two members to use the Sponsorship Management System (SMS).
  4. Apply online and pay the home office fee: this caries depending on the type of visa you want to sponsor and the size of your business.
  5. Prepare a pre-approval audit from the Home Office.

Sponsor License for Employers如果要聘请一个非欧洲经济区国家的国民,该公司必须持有工作签证的赞助牌照。该牌照将赋予您出具担保证书 (CoS) 的权利。CoS 是海外员工申请 Tier 2 或 Tier 5 签证的最重要的一个部分。

申请赞助牌照是一个漫长而令人沮丧的过程,因为内政部会切切底底地审查每一个细节。他们的规则相当之复杂,而且他们所接受的文件档案的规格是十分的严厉。并且您亦有责任要说服内政部你的公司是 “合适的”,并能满足赞助人的责任。申请证明文件必须是原件或经核证副本,核证副本必须符合内政部要求的格式。

通常,很多公司都尝试自己申请,然后最终因缺乏所需文件或本文件的编制格式不正确被拒后,才到我们这里寻求帮助。内政部通常都积累一大堆申请然后才慢慢审核。因此,在你想聘请非欧洲经济区国家的国民之前,最好尽早提交你的牌照申请。一次性成功的申请对于你来说是很重要的,因为你并不想等很长的时间然后发现自己被拒,然后又要重新申请。如果可以避免这个情况的话,您的非欧洲经济区的员工可能已正在为你工作了。

我们能够引导您逐个步骤完成整个申请程序。虽然当我们要从你那边要求正确的文件时,我们会很迂,我们只是在做尽职责尽量减少拒签的风险。

如果您有兴趣申请工作签证的赞助牌照,请不要犹豫,立即与我们联系 。 电话: +44 (0) 20 7253 6888 电邮: info@ukvisapartners.com
