Sponsoring Migrant Workers
Employment Guideline
Employment Guideline
The process and requirements for sponsoring non-EEA national workers in the UK are complicated. At the same time, the rules are strict, and the consequences of non-compliance could be detrimental to both the employer and its sponsored migrants.
This Inbrief introduces the Points-Based System. It explains the sponsor licence application process and the process for sponsoring workers under Tier 2. It also reviews the Tier 2 visa application process.
This Inbrief is intended as general guidance only. A member of Lewis Silkin’s immigration team would be happy to advise on your organisation's specific requirements, including how to apply for your sponsor licence and sponsor non-EEA nationals to work.
