What is Skilled worker Sponsor Licence
A Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence is permission from the Home Office that allows UK employers to hire skilled migrant workers. This applies to all types of employers—whether you’re a small business, a large company, a charity, or a public sector organisation.
These certificates allow the worker to apply for the Skilled Worker Visa.
To obtain a sponsor licence, employers must demonstrate that they are genuine businesses operating lawfully in the UK, have appropriate HR systems in place to manage sponsorship duties, and meet specific eligibility criteria. Once granted, the licence permits the employer to sponsor foreign workers for roles that meet certain skill and salary thresholds.
As of April 2024, the requirement to renew the sponsor licence every four years has been removed. Licences expiring on or after 6 April 2024 will be automatically extended for an additional 10 years.
Services we offer
Sponsor Licence Applications
We assist UK businesses in preparing and submitting Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence applications to the Home Office. From gathering the required documents to ensuring your business meets all eligibility and compliance requirements, our team offers complete guidance.
Whether you’re applying for the first time or reapplying after a previous refusal, we handle the process with accuracy and care.
Judicial Review Against Sponsor Licence Refusals
If your sponsor licence application has been refused and there is no right of appeal or administrative review, a judicial review may be the only legal remedy. Our solicitors can assess the refusal, prepare a robust Pre-Action Protocol letter, and pursue judicial review proceedings if necessary.
We aim to challenge Home Office decisions efficiently and lawfully.
Sponsor Licence Audits
Compliance is key to keeping your licence. We conduct internal Home Office-style audits to identify and address any weaknesses in your current systems before an actual inspection.
Our audit service ensures your HR and record-keeping practices meet sponsorship duties, helping you avoid enforcement action.
Pre-Action Protocol and Judicial Reviews for Revocation of Sponsor Licence
If the Home Office has notified to revoke your sponsor licence, we act fast to challenge this. There is no formal right of appeal against revocation, but we can file a Pre-Action Protocol letter and, where needed, proceed to judicial review.
Our legal team has experience dealing with urgent licence revocation matters and safeguarding businesses from severe operational disruption.
Representation Against Suspension of Sponsor Licence
A suspension notice can put your recruitment plans on hold and impact your business. We provide legal representation during the suspension process, engage directly with the Home Office, and help prepare a response backed by evidence and legal argument.
Our goal is to reinstate your licence and protect your business continuity.
New COS Applications
We support employers in applying for and assigning Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to skilled migrant workers.
Whether you’re assigning your first CoS or managing multiple applications, we ensure that all role requirements, salary levels, and visa conditions are properly met.
Our solicitors also advise on compliance obligations linked to CoS issuance.

Recent Success Stories
Earlier this year, I went through one of the toughest moments of my life. Out of nowhere, the Home Office cancelled my Skilled Worker visa — even though I was doing everything right. It felt like my whole world just stopped. I didn’t know what to do or where to turn.
Then I reached out to Nara, and honestly, that was the best decision I made. From the very first day, he listened, reassured me, and told me not to lose hope. He submitted the first challenge on April 3rd, and when there was no reply, he went again on May 14th — he just never gave up.
On July 28th, I received the good news that my visa had been reinstated. I can’t even describe how relieved and thankful I was that day! But Nara didn’t stop there — he kept pushing until finally, in October, the Home Office reinstated my family’s visas too.
Through it all, Solicitor Nara and Solicitor Alisha stood by me, supported me, and encouraged me. They were more than just solicitors — they became like family to me.
So I just want to say a big thank you to Nara and Alisha. You truly fought for me, and I’ll never forget it.
If anyone out there is going through any immigration issue, please — don’t lose hope. Contact solicitor Nara Sukhvinder and his team. They are genuine, professional, and they truly care about people.
Thank you so much, Solicitor Nara and
Solicitor Alisha Badhran God bless you both for everything you’ve done for me and my family.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
A special thanks to Nandini Sharma for her outstanding support and guidance. She was always approachable and made every step clear. We finally achieved a successful outcome.I would highly recommend Nara solicitors to anyone needing reliable immigration assistance.

They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all our questions promptly, and made sure every detail of my application was handled with care.
Thanks to their expertise and attention to detail, my visa was approved without any issues in a matter of hours. I truly felt supported throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about their clients and knows the immigration system inside and out, I highly recommend Nara Soliticors ask that Ravina be in charge of your application. She'sthe best👌🏾
Thank you again for making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable!
In the wake of this difficult situation, we turned to Nara Solicitors for assistance. They showed incredible compassion and dedication as they delved into our case. Their team not only helped us gather all the necessary documents but also worked tirelessly to expedite our process to accommodate
the staff who were due for visa renewal. Remarkably, they achieved a resolution in just three days! —an expedited timeline rather than the 20+ days it normally takes for a response
When we received the news that the Home Office had reinstated our license without requiring any further actions from us, we felt an overwhelming sense of relief. We are deeply grateful to Nara Solicitors for their steadfast support throughout this ordeal. Their commitment to both the director and our team provided us with much-needed reassurance during a tumultuous time.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nara Solicitors to any company facing a similar plight. I firmly believe that, without their expertise and encouragement, we might have lost our license, which would have had dire consequences for our staff and organistion.
I highly recommend that any care organisation participate in audit training sessions with them. It’s better to complete the training proactively rather than waiting for an audit, whether unannounced or announced. They have extensive experience and can guide you in the right direction, ensuring you are well-prepared for success when an audit occurs.
Nara Solicitors truly went above and beyond for us, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Nara, Ms. Ojasvi, and Mr. Anmol for their outstanding & unwavering support, which led to a positive outcome for our firm. Thank you for being there when we needed you most!
