Certificate of Sponsorship

About Certificate of Sponsorship

A certificate of sponsorship, or CoS, is the electronic record a sponsor assigns to a worker to support their visa application. The information on the CoS has to match the role, the worker and the rules of the relevant route. Mistakes can lead to visa refusals and questions about the sponsor's compliance. RakLAW Solicitors help you request the right allocation of certificates, check role and salary details against current rules, and assign each CoS correctly so that your sponsored workers' applications go in cleanly.

Who this is for

  • Sponsors hiring overseas workers for new roles
  • HR teams managing CoS allocations
  • Employers sponsoring senior or specialist staff
  • Sponsors using certificates for the first time

How RakLAW helps

  • Advise on annual CoS allocation requests
  • Check role and salary alignment with current rules
  • Review CoS details before assignment
  • Support workers' linked visa applications
  • Fix errors flagged by the Home Office
