Businesses looking to hire talent from overseas need to ensure that they have the correct licences and procedures in place to avoid breaching UK immigration laws.
A sponsorship licence is required in order to employ students, skilled workers or temporary workers from overseas. Applying for a sponsorship licence is a complicated process, and businesses need to ensure that the application is perfect when it is submitted; otherwise, they face the costly and time-consuming prospect of having to complete the application again following a rejection.
