Employer Sponsorship Licence – UK


UK immigration has a point based system, under which an Employer Sponsorship License (ESL) is mandatory for a UK employer who is wishing to engage workforce from regions other than the EU. Also if an employer who wishes to extend work permit for his existing workforce should have this license. 

According to the dictates of this system, an employee can apply for an employee sponsorship license ahead of the recruitment of immigrant workforce and also for future immigrant employment opportunities. 

The process of taking on an overseas employee is expedited and made convenient with an already approved license in place.

The UK government has also been experimenting with the Employee Sponsorship License limits, specifically so in 2011. In 2011, the UK government had announced a temporary limit to the license at 10,832 certificates to ESL holders under Tier 2 point.

There was severe concern raised by large corporations who felt that this limitation majorly affects and compromises key talent recruitment. These limitations are applicable to all new applicants, sometimes extension and in –country applications inclusive of intra-company transfers.

Major international talent recruiters at such times need expert legal advice of certified UK immigration lawyers to sail through. The limitations are specific to companies and the allocation may sometimes be zero subject to their previous year recruitments taken into account. Specialist immigration firms provide all assistance in legal paperwork, applications and more for all employer related international recruitment laws. 

Many organisations have raised serious doubts in the particular challenge of hiring experienced personnel specific to technology or such specialist’s role. Some have even called the policy to be damaging and detrimental to the growth of British industry.

New Eligibility services for UK Visa Applicants



Amongst the rounds of new laws and policies making their presence felt at the UK immigration scene, there is one more update for the Non European nationals. Non-European nationals looking to move to the UK are now required to use the new UK Visas and Nationality Service provided by NARIC in order to check that they are eligible to apply for a UK visa.

As per the existing rules, Up until 6 April 2016, the online points-based calculator operated on a cost-free basis and helped applicants to identify their eligibility to work or study in the UK under the Points-based System by looking at the level of their international qualifications. But now the system will be taken over by NARIC. The online service has recently closed, giving way to the   new UK Visas and Nationality Service provided by NARIC. The applicants will have to pay a fee to use the system in order to ascertain their eligibility.

The new service by NARIC will help to ascertain whether or not their academic qualifications and English language ability are valid in supporting their immigration application. Like the points-based calculator before it, this new service identifies and confirms the academic qualification levels and/or English-language proficiency level of each applicant.
Once it has been ascertained that a non-EEA national has the relevant academic and language levels to allow them to apply for the relevant UK visa, NARIC will provide proof of this for use in supporting their immigration application.
This new eligibility scale is believed to be successful and more result-oriented.

Getting approved the visitor visa for UK

Getting approved the visitor visa for UK can prove to be a pain in neck if you are not aware of the processes or take them lightly. Securing an approved visitor visa for the UK does not just rely in satisfying all the documentary requirements, rather it even involves several other important factors.

Here are some of the important aspects that decide the fate of the approval of the visitor visa and play a great role in determining the application’s success.

Relationship with the Sponsor: The UK visitor visa completely promotes sponsorship thus making it easier for people to visit the kingdom. When applying, the applicants must present the proper relationship’s authenticity and its proof. Evidences like chat conversations, emails and pictures are strong and can be easily submitted to the authorities.

Authenticity of the Submitted Documents: All the applicants submitting their papers with the authority must ensure that their papers are authentic and true. There should be no forgery in the paper work as the immigration officers can sight all such papers very easily. This even impacts the approval process in the near future.

Financial Stability: Having a willing sponsor is always good, but it would be really great if the applicant can prove his individual financial stability. The application gets stronger if the applicant is able to proof that he himself can finance his trip.
