A
Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is a crucial document for anyone applying to work in the United Kingdom under a Skilled Worker route. Issued by a licensed UK employer, it serves as official confirmation that the individual has been offered a legitimate role and that the organization is authorized to sponsor migrant workers.
At Visa Simple, we assist both employers and applicants in understanding the technical requirements of obtaining and assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship. Each certificate contains vital details such as job title, salary, and work location — all of which must align with the Home Office’s eligibility criteria.
Employers must ensure they comply with sponsorship regulations to maintain their license, while applicants must attach the CoS reference number to their visa application. Errors or inconsistencies in this process can lead to visa refusals or compliance issues, making expert guidance invaluable.
The Certificate of Sponsorship is not a physical document but an electronic record, and its validity is time-sensitive. Therefore, timely submission and accurate data entry are essential.
At Visa Simple, we streamline the process, ensuring employers meet sponsorship obligations and workers transition smoothly into their roles in the UK.
