Who This Guide Is For
- Employers new to the UK immigration system who want to sponsor overseas workers
- HR managers or business owners responsible for immigration and compliance
- Anyone gathering documents for their first sponsor licence application
Why This Guide Matters
Applying for a UK sponsor licence can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. The Home Office has strict documentation requirements and complex compliance rules, and getting things wrong could mean delays, rejection, or even an audit.
That’s where this guide helps. We break down:
- What documents you need to submit
- What to include in your cover letter
- How to prepare your business to pass a compliance check
- What to do if you plan to sponsor someone straight away
- How to complete the application with confidence
