Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence

The Skilled Worker visa represents a new category within the UK visa system. To be eligible for this visa, individuals must secure sponsorship from a UK-based employer. However, employers can only offer sponsorship if they possess a Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence.

The Skilled Worker Licence grants employers the authority to issue “Certificates of Sponsorship” (COS) to prospective applicants. Without a COS, individuals cannot apply for the Skilled Worker visa.
