A Sponsor Licence is a licence that allows an employer to sponsor skilled workers from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland to come and work in the UK. The licence is granted by the Home Office. To be eligible for a Sponsor Licence, an employer must: - have a genuine need for the skills of the migrant worker - be able to meet the migrant worker's salary requirements - have appropriate policies and procedures in place regarding the employment of migrant workers If an employer is successful in their application for a Sponsor Licence, they will be issued with a certificate which will list the types of workers they are able to sponsor. The employer will then need to assign a 'Certificate of Sponsorship' to each migrant worker they wish to sponsor.
