Risks & important considerations
Role eligibility
The job duties, occupation code and salary must qualify under the relevant route. A sponsor licence alone does not make every vacancy eligible.
CoS and applicant details
Inconsistent employer, job or candidate information can undermine the sponsorship and visa application. Check both sides before submission.
Right to work
A job offer or CoS does not itself authorise employment. The employer must establish a lawful right to work before the person starts.
