Sponsor Responsibilities

Home Office assumes that you will benefit directly from migration as a licensed sponsor and, therefore, Home Office expects that you play your part in ensuring that the system is not abused.

Statutory Duties of Sponsors

To successfully apply for Sponsor License under Tier 2, Tier 4 and Tier 5 and to maintain the Sponsor License you must meet sponsorhip responsibilities on an ongoing basis. These are as under:

1. You must be a genuine organisation operating lawfully in the UK.
2. You must have Key Personnel who are not having any unspent criminal convictions.
3. You must have robust 'Eligibility to Work Checks' and HR Systems in place to meet your sponsor duties and responsibilities.
4. You must offer genuine employment that meets the Tier appropriate skill level and appropriate rates of pay on an ongoing basis and you monitor the migrant worker on an ongoing basis.
5. If you are a Tier 4 Sponsor, you must continue to offer the education courses at the level stated and you monitor that migrant student continues to meet immigration rules.
6. Must comply with Immigration Rules and Requirements
7. Must prevent abuse of immigration assessment procedure

Home Office may assess your compliance with the above requirements by visiting you before your licence is granted. UK Visas and Immigration officers may also visit you after a licence has been granted. Home Office may initiate / take action against you if they have any concerns that you are not adequately meeting your sponsor duties.
