About Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence
A Skilled Worker sponsor licence allows a UK business to employ overseas nationals in eligible skilled roles on a long-term basis. It is the most common sponsor route, used by everyone from tech firms to construction companies. The Home Office expects the role, salary and business to meet specific rules, and expects the sponsor to keep records and report changes properly.
