Sponsor License Renewals

Whether you already have a sponsorship licence or looking to acquire a new one it is important to make sure it is valid at all times. An expired licence or refused licence can cause serious problems from your licence being revoked or even your worker’s visa being curtailed. If you already have a sponsorship licence and are looking to renew the home office it is more likely to look into your business as you should already be following all the rules and regulations, this is why it is important to keep up to date with all of your licences. The home office will take its time to go through your immigration compliance process, documentation and procedures to make sure the lawful status of your business is up to the standard of the law. 

If you have already got a sponsorship licence and it is coming to the end of your four years you must submit your renewal application 3 months before the expiry date, however, if you feel like you want to send the renewal application earlier you can check with the SMS (sponsorship management system) to see when the earliest you can submit your application. The SMS system is where you can find out all the information regarding your sponsorship licences.
