Frequently Asked Questions

Essential facts about the UK Skilled Worker Visa and Sponsor Register.

What is the UK Register of Licensed Sponsors? expand_more
The Register of Licensed Sponsors is the official list of organisations that the UK Home Office has approved to employ international workers. A company must be on this list and hold an 'A-rating' to legally issue you a Certificate of Sponsorship for a Skilled Worker or Health & Care Worker visa.
Do I need a job offer before applying for a Skilled Worker Visa? expand_more
Yes. You must have a confirmed job offer and a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) reference number from an approved UK employer before you can even apply for the Skilled Worker visa. You cannot apply for the visa independently to look for work after arriving.
How do I know if a company's sponsor licence is active? expand_more
You can use the FindMySponsor search tool at the top of this page to check any company. We update our database daily directly from the GOV.UK register. If an employer promises you sponsorship but they are not listed here, or their licence has been revoked, they cannot legally sponsor your visa.
What is the difference between an A-rating and a B-rating? expand_more
An 'A-rating' means the employer has passed all Home Office compliance checks and can freely sponsor new international workers. A 'B-rating' means the employer failed some checks or breached duties; they can continue sponsoring their existing workforce but they are barred from issuing new Certificates of Sponsorship until they complete an action plan to regain their A-rating.
