Organisations in the UK that wish to hire foreign workers must first obtain a sponsor licence from the Home Office. However, securing a licence is only the beginning. Maintaining it requires ongoing compliance with strict UK immigration rules, including the management of sponsored workers and ensuring they continue to meet their visa conditions.
