Sponsorship License

What is sponsorship?

If you wish to employ a person who is not a settled worker, and who does not otherwise have immigration permission to work in the UK, you will need to be authorised by the Home Office. This authorisation is known as a ‘sponsor license’, and employers who hold a sponsor license are known as ‘sponsors’.

Individual persons are not eligible to be recognised as sponsors, unless they are sole traders who wish to sponsor someone to work in their business.

A worker must have an offer of a job which meets the relevant criteria from an approved sponsor before they can make a valid application to enter or stay in the UK for the purpose of work. The sponsor confirms this by assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship to the worker.

Sponsorship plays two main roles in a worker’s application for permission to enter or stay in the UK:

  • where relevant, it provides evidence that the worker will fill a genuine vacancy in a skilled occupation and will be paid appropriately;
  • it involves a pledge from the sponsor that it accepts all of the duties of sponsorship

Routes Under Which You Can Apply For A Sponsor Licence

There are two broad types of sponsor licence you can apply for: Worker (formerly Tier 2) and Temporary Worker (formerly Tier 5 (Temporary Worker)). Within these two types, there are a number of individual immigration ‘routes’. You can apply to be licensed in as many routes as you feel appropriate for your business or organisation.

There is a brief description of these routes below. For more detailed information, refer to the route-specific guidance.

Note: you do not need to apply for a new licence if you already have a valid licence under the existing Tier 2 or Tier 5 arrangements – see Transitional provisions below

Worker Route

These routes are for skilled and long-term workers. There are 5 Worker
routes, as follows:

  • Skilled Worker: this allows employers to recruit people to work in the UK in a specific job – a Skilled Worker must have a job offer in an eligible skilled occupation and meet the salary and going rate requirements
  • Intra-Company routes: there are two Intra-Company routes, both of which require the worker to be sponsored in an eligible skilled occupation and meet the salary and going rate requirements: Intra-Company Transfer: this is for established workers who are being transferred by the overseas business they work for to do a skilled role with a linked business in the UK
  • Intra-Company Graduate Trainee: this is for workers who are being transferred by the overseas business they work for to undertake a role in the UK with a linked business as part of a
    structured graduate training programme
  • T2 Sportsperson: this for an elite sportsperson or qualified coach who is sponsored in a role where they will make a significant contribution to
    the development of sport at the highest level in the UK and who has a valid endorsement from the appropriate Sports Governing Body.
  • T2 Minister of Religion: this for a person who has a key leading role within their faith-based organisation or a religious order in the UK.

Temporary Worker Routes

The Temporary Worker (or ‘T5 (Temporary Worker)’) routes allow employers to recruit workers in a variety of temporary roles with an organisation in the UK to help satisfy cultural, charitable, religious or international objectives, including volunteering and job shadowing, and for meeting seasonal employment needs in the edible horticultural sector.

These are some of Temporary Worker routes on which you can sponsor workers:

  • Religious Worker: this for a person who wants to support the activities of religious institutions in the UK by conducting religious work, such as working in a religious order or undertaking non-pastoral work for a religious organisation, for a maximum of 2 years – the work must not include employment as a minister of religion.
