What we assess

What the Sponsor licence (Home Office) in-depth assessment covers

Every area below is reviewed, RAG-rated against the standards that apply to you, and turned into a prioritised action.

Eligibility

Your organisation is genuine, trading lawfully in the UK, with no unspent relevant convictions among key personnel.

Key personnel

Your Authorising Officer, Key Contact and Level 1 User are named, suitable, and SMS access is kept current.

Right to work

You complete and retain compliant right-to-work checks (share codes / IDVT) for every worker before they start.

Record-keeping

You hold the documents Appendix D requires for each sponsored worker — contact details, contracts, recruitment evidence, and a record that you've informed each worker of their UK employment rights.

Reporting (SMS)

You report reportable events on the Sponsorship Management System within the required timescales (10 / 20 working days).

Monitoring

You monitor visa expiry, attendance and work location, with a system that flags issues early.

Genuine vacancy

Each sponsored role is a genuine vacancy at the required skill level (now RQF Level 6) and pays at or above the current going rate / salary threshold, with evidence retained.

Migrant tracking

You keep up-to-date contact details and can produce each worker's role, salary and absence history on request.

Systems & HR

Your HR systems meet the sponsor duties and you could pass a Home Office compliance visit at short notice.

Governance

Duties are owned by a named person, staff are trained, and you review compliance regularly with an audit trail.
