For employer sponsored employment

Obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to employ an immigrant is a means of expanding an employer’s options when it comes to recruiting or retaining the best person for the job. A Certificate of Sponsorship is issued by the UK Border Agency for a company to employ a non-EEA national for a specific job and period of time.

Sponsorship Licence

Before they can issue Certificates of Sponsorship, an employer needs to first obtain a Sponsorship Licence which will enable them to then sponsor migrant workers. Each time they wish to sponsor a migrant they have to meet the qualifying criteria such as demonstrating that a genuine vacancy exists that cannot be filled by a resident worker.
