SPONSOR LICENCE
Sponsor Licence Application
About Sponsor Licence Application
A sponsor licence application is the formal request a UK business makes to the Home Office for permission to employ workers from overseas. The application asks you to prove your business is genuine, lawfully trading, and capable of meeting sponsor duties, with the right key personnel and HR systems in place. Refusals carry a cooling-off period, so getting it right first time matters. RakLAW Solicitors guide you through eligibility, supporting documents and form completion, presenting your application in a way that gives it the best chance of approval.
