CoS Deep Dive: Everything You Need to Know in 2026
In 2026, requesting an in-year increase to your CoS allocation can take up to 18 weeks, and since July 2025 UKVI has been asking for extra documents like PAYE reports and organisation charts before it will approve one. For sponsors trying to hire, extend, or plan ahead, one misjudged request now means a lost quarter and, sometimes, a lost worker.
Join us on Tuesday 25 August at 11am UK for 45 minutes with an IAA-regulated immigration adviser, covering the full life of a CoS: getting it granted, getting it faster, and keeping it compliant once it's live. Bring your questions for the live Q&A.
Key learnings include:
- What decides a grant against a refusal, and why first time matters now decisions can't be reviewed
- How to apply so you're not waiting a full quarter, plus how allocation, renewals, and ISC costs work
- What keeps a CoS compliant once issued: pay and going rate, hours, duties, promotions, and address changes
- How to manage multiple CoS at once without a spreadsheet failing you at scale
All attendees get our free CoS request checklist to keep.
Who should attend: HR and People teams, compliance officers, Authorising Officers, and senior leaders at any organisation sponsoring or planning to sponsor overseas workers.
