PBS - Sponsorship licence

A main feature of the UK Immigration Points Based System (PBS) is the requirement of all sponsors for the non-EU workers to get licensed as sponsors before they wish to bring candidates to UK on a visa. The Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) of UK have the authority to provide Sponsorship licence.

Sponsorship meaning for candidate

•  Except Tier 1 visa, all the remaining tier visas need to have a sponsor before they come and live in the UK.
• The sponsor in UK can be a local company, university or a college.
•  Having a sponsor in the UK is the first step towards immigration to the UK.
• UK businesses need to be more careful and have to comply with all the requirements of sponsoring the non-EU citizens. These employers are also responsible for the conduct of the sponsored people.

How will Sponsorship Work?

• Sponsorship works on two main principles.
• The UK institutions can benefit the most from the immigration of skilled workers.
• Eligible candidates can come to UK with a valid job offer and grow in their career.
• Sponsored institutes and companies are the ones that have to take care of the candidates that are sponsored by them.
