Employer Sponsorship for International Talent Acquisition
We know just how important it is for organisations in today’s global market to secure the right talent. This is why our Employer Sponsor service offers a comprehensive and guided step-by-step solution to support small to medium-sized businesses across the UK with their employee immigration needs. We’re here to help you navigate the complexities of the sponsorship landscape with confidence so you can focus on hiring the right people for your business, no matter where in the world they come from.
The various elements of this service include:
Sponsor Licence Application & Renewal
We offer an end-to-end service, covering all aspects of the preparation of your Sponsor Licence application so you can confidently hire overseas nationals to work in your UK offices. Our success is rooted in a deep understanding of the legal process and of the businesses we work with to ensure eligibility and compliance in order to reduce the risk of refusal. As Sponsor Licences are valid for just four years, when it’s time to renew we’ll be here to guide you through that process too.
Sponsor Licence Compliance
We understand the pressure on businesses to ensure that compliance standards are upheld, and best practices are followed across their organisation. After all, non-compliance can lead to loss of the licence, financial penalties, and reputational damage. So, at Ansar we maintain the highest legal standards and offer a dedicated retained service to ensure that throughout the term of your Sponsor Licence your business is supported in meeting all its relevant compliance obligations. We offer regular compliance audits, guidance on adhering to regulations, and, where needed, support in challenging penalties.
Visa Application & Extension
Once your Sponsor Licence has been approved our guidance extends to helping you obtain a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) for your new employee and a full spectrum of visa services to help them with their application or extension. Each visa type, from Skilled Worker to Global Business Mobility to Creative Worker and beyond, comes with its own set of rules and durations. Our expertise ensures your employees that their visa application or extension will be handled proficiently, so their attention can be on your business requirements while yours is on gaining or retaining the very best talent.
Indefinite Leave to Remain
For long-term employees who have been through the visa system that you wish to retain for the foreseeable future, we also offer support in their journey to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK. Our team are here to provide all the necessary legal advice and support to you and your employee throughout this process
