Securing a UK Skilled Worker Visa is a significant milestone for professionals aiming to work in the UK. A key element of this process is obtaining Sponsorship from a licensed employer. Understanding how sponsorship works can make your visa application smoother and more efficient.
What Is Sponsorship and Why Is It Important?
Sponsorship is a formal arrangement where a licensed UK employer supports your Skilled Worker Visa application. The employer provides a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), which confirms:
- You have a legitimate job offer.
- The role meets the criteria for the Skilled Worker Visa.
Employers must be registered as licensed sponsors with the UK Home Office to issue a CoS. At MRK Immigration, we assist both employers and applicants in navigating this critical step.
Steps to Obtain Sponsorship
- Find a Licensed Sponsor: Ensure your employer is registered on the official list of licensed sponsors.
- Receive a Certificate of Sponsorship: Once offered a job, your employer will provide the Certificate of Sponsorship needed for your visa application.
- Meet the Job Requirements: Verify that your role meets the criteria, including skill level and salary thresholds.
