Sponsor Licence
If you are a UK employer hiring foreign skilled workers, you will likely need a Sponsor Licence. This applies regardless of whether the work is paid or unpaid.

The Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is a mandatory requirement for hiring foreign workers in the UK via a sponsored Skilled Worker Visa, Temporary Worker Visa or Global Business Mobility route. This electronic record, issued by licensed employers, confirms that the job and the applicant comply with UK immigration laws.
Once a UK employer has a sponsor licence and has assigned a Certificate of Sponsorship, the sponsored worker must still make a valid visa application. This may be an entry clearance application from outside the UK, an in-country switching application, an extension application, or a change of employment application.
