Sponsor Licence ( Tier 2) UK Application Guide
V Immigration is best known for its services in immigration. We have assisted thousands of clients, including those needing a sponsor licence (Tier 2 sponsor licence) with a high trust rating based on hundreds of client feedback. Aside from that, we’ve helped many clients secure a skilled worker sponsor license (Tier 2 General) in anticipation of the UK’s exit from the European Union.
You can count on us to help you get a sponsor licence, but we also want to make sure your business remains compliant long-term. Despite the Home Office’s increasing focus on regulatory requirements, we have been able to build processes for sponsor licence holders. Our service extends to all procedures of sponsorship.
Employers must know which sponsor licence to apply for because it affects the roles in which they can hire foreign workers. There are two types of sponsor licences:
When the Certificate of Sponsorship is issued, you’ll be accountable for paying the immigration skills fee starting from £1000 (a lower cost is possible in certain cases only).
The Sponsor Management System (SMS) generates a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) after a licence has been given electronically.
The company must first acquire a Certificate of Sponsorship from the Home Office through SMS before it may sponsor a migrant worker. It is necessary that after this has been authorised, a unique reference number be assigned to the worker who will be sponsored by the company.
People who are applying from outside the United Kingdom use defined CoS.
Sponsors are required to submit a special CoS application to the Home Office. In most circumstances, the Home Office will grant the specified CoS within one business day.
When applying for a designated CoS, the Home Office may seek further information regarding the applicant’s role, identification process, etc. Therefore, sponsors should be prepared to offer relevant information.
Once a defined CoS has been awarded, it must be assigned to a person within three months; otherwise, it will expire and the procedure must be repeated.
If you’re applying from the UK or another country, but don’t fall under the skilled worker category, you’ll need to fill out an Undefined Certificate of Status (CoS).
Undefined certifications are requested when an organisation applies for a sponsor licence. As long as the workers are eligible under the visa route and the sponsor pays the money to assign CoS, there is no limit to how many undefined CoS can be issued.
