Do I need a sponsor licence employer for the UK Skilled Worker visa?
Yes — the UK Skilled Worker visa requires a job offer from an employer holding a valid sponsor licence. Not every UK employer can sponsor, so confirming licence status before applying anywhere saves significant wasted effort.
Key points
- Check the official UK sponsor licence register before applying to a company.
- A role must also meet the visa's skill level and salary requirements.
- Sponsorship doesn't transfer automatically if you change employers.
- Recruiters specializing in your sector often know which employers sponsor.
