Understanding Sponsored Work Visas in the UK
The Sponsored Work Visa is one of the most common immigration routes for overseas professionals seeking employment in the United Kingdom. This visa allows skilled individuals to live and work in the UK when an approved UK employer (also known as a licensed sponsor) offers them a genuine job opportunity.
At The McKenzie Friend, we provide step-by-step guidance throughout the sponsorship process — from securing a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to ensuring your Skilled Worker Visa or Temporary Worker Visa application meets all Home Office requirements.
Why Choose a Sponsored Work Visa?
- Secure legal employment with an approved UK sponsor.
- Pathway to settlement after five years of continuous residence.
- Bring eligible family members with you under dependent visa categories.
- Switch from other visa types where permitted, such as Student or Graduate Visas.
Whether you are an employer looking to sponsor overseas staff, or an individual hoping to work in the UK, our professional team helps you prepare a strong, compliant application that minimises delays and rejections.

Our Step-by-Step Support for Sponsored Visa Applications
We ensure that both employers and applicants fully understand the sponsorship process before submitting any documents. Our approach focuses on clarity, compliance, and strategy to secure the best possible outcome.
1. Employer Sponsorship Licence Application
For employers wishing to hire international workers, we assist in applying for or maintaining a valid Sponsor Licence. This includes preparing documentation to demonstrate the business’s legitimacy, HR systems, and ability to meet Home Office compliance checks.
2. Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)
Once a licence is granted, the employer can issue a Certificate of Sponsorship. We guide you in ensuring job descriptions, salary levels, and SOC codes align with immigration rules to prevent unnecessary refusals.
3. Skilled Worker Visa Application
With a valid CoS, the applicant can apply for the Skilled Worker Visa. We provide document checklists, assist with proof of English language and financial requirements, and review all supporting evidence before submission.
4. Post-Approval Support
After visa approval, we help clients understand their rights, conditions, and compliance duties — from right-to-work checks to maintaining lawful status for future extensions or Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
