Without a licence, you will not be able to legally sponsor workers, even if they are from Europe. Brexit and labour shortages have made hiring staff more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Businesses need skilled migrants and many require sponsorship to work in the UK. Where migrants require sponsorship, businesses must hold a Sponsor Licence to allow applicants to successfully apply for a visa as a Skilled Worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Significant changes to the immigration rules happened after Brexit. Now businesses wanting to hire from European countries may need a sponsor licence too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sponsor Licences are granted by the Home Office. It is also necessary for unpaid work like volunteering for a charity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">However, not all migrant workers require sponsorship. For example, if your business wants to hire an Irish citizen, you do not need a sponsor licence to hire the Irish citizen. Moreover, people with pre-settled or settled status and indefinite leave to remain in the UK do not need sponsorship either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Though there are some visas that do not require corporate sponsorship they may require sponsorship from other sources such as British spouses. Not all applicants can meet the requirements for these visa categories meaning that having a Sponsor Licence can be a great option to give you the flexibility to hire migrant workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Businesses can find Sponsor Licence applications and continued compliance is quite complicated. Businesses must go through a lot of paperwork and time-consuming processes to become a sponsor licence holder. The Home Office are very strict with the documents they will accept, which can be very stressful for businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Not only that, if your Sponsor Licence is granted there is no way of knowing whether the migrant will meet the requirements for visa sponsorship. Meaning that their visa could be refused after your hard work obtaining a Sponsor Licence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">As a result, without proper expertise, acquiring a sponsor licence can become very lengthy and stressful process. That is why many businesses hire an expert<strong>\u00a0immigration expert\u00a0<\/strong>to help them with the obtaining a Sponsor Licence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Due to the complexities, you may find that hiring an Immigration expert will streamline the process and give you the advice to avoid costly mistakes. Law firms can make sense of the paperwork and help you jump through the obstacles of the sponsor licence application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Consequences of Employing Workers Without a Sponsor Licence | <span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000080; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sponsor Licence Application Guidance UK<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">One thing you should never do is employ illegal workers in the UK. An illegal worker is someone that does not have permission to work in the UK but does work, even if they have a UK visa (some UK visas have restrictions that do not allow individuals to work). You should always work in compliance with UK immigration law. Just because you don\u2019t have a sponsor licence does not mean that you will not be issued with a civil penalty. All businesses from your local newsagents to a large multi-national have a responsibility to make sure that they are completing the Right to Work checks to avoid those illegal working inside the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\">How Long Does It Take to Get a <a href=\"https:\/\/keleaders.com\/ar\/\">Sponsor Licence<\/a>?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Home Office processes applications in the order that they receive them. It can take approximately\u00a0<strong>eight weeks<\/strong>\u00a0for the Home Office to process applications. However, you may\u00a0<strong>pay \u00a3536 to get your licence in ten days<\/strong>. Permission needs to be sought from the Home Office before this service can be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, as we mentioned, the Home Office might visit to check your compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Useful Questions\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u0627\u0644\u0623\u0633\u0626\u0644\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u0627\u0626\u0639\u0629<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000080;\"><strong>Is it difficult to get a sponsor licence?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The registration and application process can be quite complex.

Therefore, we always recommend working with a qualified immigration expert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000080;\"><strong>What happens if an employer does not fulfil their responsibilities?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If a sponsor fails to fulfil their duties such as record keeping and monitoring, their licence can be revoked.

You will get a refund if the worker\u2019s visa is withdrawn or rejected. In addition, you will also get a refund if your application was successful, but the worker did not come to work for you, or they leave their employment with you before their sponsorship end date (i.e. if they are sponsored for 2 years and leave after 1 year, you will get a refund of year of of the Immigration Skills Charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000080;\"><strong>How long do immigration skill charge refunds take?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It takes up to 90 days for the refund to be fully processed.
