Which UK employers can sponsor a visa?

If a role needs visa sponsorship, the employer has to hold a Home Office sponsor licence. This is the full list of every company that does, over 140,000 of them, taken straight from the UK government's own register.

Search it before you apply, or before an interview, to check an employer is actually able to sponsor you. It covers Skilled Worker and Temporary Worker routes.

The Home Office updates this register regularly, so a newer version may already exist. For the current one, or to check a single company online rather than downloading the whole list, go to the register on gov.uk. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
