The Home Office keeps a list of published nationalities that require a visa before arrival; all other nationalities are classed as ‘non-visa nationals’ and can normally enter as a visitor on entry. However, it’s important to note that non-visa nationals will still need to meet the requirements of the Standard Visitor Visa, so legal guidance may be beneficial even if you do not need to go through the visa application process.

For UK businesses to hire international talent, a Sponsor Licence is a requisite. Formerly referred to as a Tier 2 Sponsor Licence, this certification empowers UK employers to issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) and bring overseas professionals on board under Skilled Worker visas.

Sponsor Licences are integral to UK businesses for sourcing talent globally, especially across sectors like Healthcare, Hospitality, Construction, Telecoms, IT, and Media. The process to secure such a licence is stringent, and keeping it active necessitates strict regulatory compliance.
