Sponsor Compliance Service

It can be challenging for UK employers to navigate Sponsor Compliance Audits and Home Office compliance visits are inevitable for licence holders. At UK Visa Partners, we provide expert compliance services to ensure organisations meet Home Office requirements, protecting their ability to employ overseas talent. 

Sponsor Licence Duties and Compliance Visits

As a sponsor licence holder, you must adhere to specific duties to maintain your licence:

  • Reporting Duties: Notify the Home Office of significant organisational changes, such as mergers or key personnel updates.
  • Record-Keeping Duties: Maintain accurate records for all sponsored employees, including immigration status, contact details, and employment history.
  • Certificate of Sponsorship: Issue certificates only to eligible workers.
  • Sponsorship Management System (SMS): Use the SMS effectively to manage your sponsorship responsibilities.

Sponsor Licence Duties and Compliance Visits

During a compliance visit, officers will verify:

  • The accuracy and completeness of the information provided to UKVI.
  • Your ability to offer employment at the Skilled Worker skill level.
  • Ensure that your organisation is genuine, lawful, and not a threat to immigration control.
  • Compliance with all sponsor duties.

Employers will expect a thorough review of record-keeping, reporting, and immigration monitoring processes. Compliance officers typically do not provide immediate feedback during the visit, so maintaining continuous compliance is essential.

Ensure Your Organisation Stays Compliant with Our Expert Support

  1. Pre-Licence Compliance Visits
    • Before your sponsor licence is approved, the Home Office may conduct a pre-licence compliance visit to assess your organisation’s readiness. Our expert team ensures you are fully prepared, helping you demonstrate compliance with ease.
  2. Post-Licence Compliance Visits 
    • Once your licence is granted, periodic visits from the Home Office are inevitable to confirm your adherence to sponsor duties. With our professional support, you can confidently meet every requirement.
  3. Compliance Audits 
    • Regular internal audits are vital to maintaining compliance and safeguarding your sponsor licence. We provide thorough reviews of your records, processes, and sponsorship duties, ensuring you remain aligned with Home Office expectations.
