A UK sponsor license enables organisations and companies to hire overseas talent.

To qualify, the organisation must prove its need for foreign workers. It must also comply with requirements such as right-to-work checks and maintaining proper records.

The license is valid for 10 years.

Self-sponsorship enables individuals to start a business under the Skilled Worker visa. To qualify, they must establish a UK-based company, demonstrate the business is legitimate, and meet all visa requirements.

The Skilled Worker visa is valid for up to 5 years, after which individuals may apply for settlement.

This option is ideal for skilled entrepreneurs who wish to work in the UK without relying on an employer's sponsorship.

A UK spouse visa lets the partner of a UK citizen or settled person live in the UK. The applicant must show their relationship is real, meet financial criteria, and plan to live together in the UK.
The visa lasts for 2.5 years and can be extended, leading to settlement after five years.

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in the UK lets a person live and work there without limits. It is usually granted after living in the UK for about 5 years with specific visas like the Skilled Worker or Spouse visa.

ILR holders have full access to public services and may apply for British citizenship after 12 months.

Applicants must have an offer from a recognised educational institution, meet English language requirements, and show proof of financial support. The visa is typically granted for the length of the course, with an additional period allowed for travel or work. After completing their studies, students may be eligible for a Graduate visa to stay and work in the UK.

UK citizenship grants a person full rights and responsibilities, including the right to vote and access public services. It typically requires living in the UK for a certain period, usually with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), and passing a citizenship test. Once granted, citizenship is permanent and allows for a British passport.

A UK visit visa allows individuals to travel to the UK for short-term stays, typically up to 6 months, for purposes such as tourism, business, or visiting family. Applicants must demonstrate they have enough funds for their stay, intend to leave the UK at the end of their visit, and have no plans to work or study during their visit.
