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.

Special thanks to Mr. Sukhvinder Nara Ji and Sonal Ji.
Our case looked very impossible, every solicitors we spoke to were very dismissive and made us want to give up.
We saw a very good review online of how Nara solicitors helped one provider to get their license back in a very short period. We immediately contacted them. I first spoke to Prageti who was very kind to get me an appointment immediately with Mr Nara , Gauri, TJ and Sam.
A very short meeting that gave us hope. They requested for a lot of documents at first and we provided everything immediately not knowing that what they did was to ensure we are compliant with all the guidelines before taking the case. Their integrity is very important to them as a law firm.
We worked with Gauri, very intelligent, kind, respectful, professional and empathetic lady. Gauri made the case look easy and was always assuring me that she will do her best and she over did her best.
Honestly, I can write ten
pages of my wonderful experience without writing the outcome of our case😅
Our Pre Action Protocol was refused by the Home Office and we lost all hope but Mr Nara advised us to give them the chance to challenge the case in court through Judicial Review.
At that point we were confused and hopeless! We trusted them to try and they went above and beyond to draft this case.
A case we were told would take 2 to 3 months didn’t take up to two weeks to be resolved!
Here is part of the lines of the letter from the SSHD to the court following our submission of our Judicial Review Application.
Am instructed that the Defendant is looking to concede this matter and a consent order will be sent to
the Claimant’s solicitors shortly, providing for the decision under challenge dated 4 October 2024 to be
reconsidered within 3 months of the sealing of a proposed consent order, absent special
circumstances.
4. The Defendant confirms that she will amend the status of the sponsor licence to suspended, within 5
working days of the sealing of a proposed consent order. The Defendant will thereafter provide the
Claimant the opportunity to provide submissions, the Claimant’s submissions will be considered during
the abovementioned reconsideration process.
5. In light of the above, the Defendant considers that interim relief will not be necessary.
Honestly, I lack the right words to describe the fantastic job Gauri did in this case and the professional advice given by Mr Nara in this exceptional case!
If you ever find yourself in a similar situation please don’t hesitate to contact Nara solicitors to get the professional help you need to resolve your case.
Well done Gauri and everyone at Nara Solicitors firm!!
I am especially grateful to Tejinder Singh and Ipshita khatri for her outstanding professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail. Both of them support was exceptional, and played a vital role in successfully helping me obtain a PSW visa. And again I heartily thanks Tejinder Singh and Ipshita khatri.
Thank you for your patience, clear communication, and commitment from start to finish. I highly recommend Nara Solicitors to anyone seeking reliable and professional immigration support.
Our case was quite tricky as I am self-sponsored, and we were initially unsure how the application would go through. From the very beginning, Sukhwinder Nara provided expert guidance, clear advice, and reassurance at every stage. His knowledge and experience made a complex situation feel manageable and well-structured.
A special mention to Ipshita, who was our case worker throughout the process. She handled all the paperwork, documentation, and application filing with great attention to detail. She was always responsive, organised, and patient in answering our questions, ensuring everything was prepared correctly and submitted on time.
Even though we submit priority application but result came through next day after biometrics shows how well the homework was behind through the process.
Thanks to their professionalism and thorough handling of our case, both my wife’s and my ILR applications were approved successfully. We truly appreciate the dedication and support from the entire team at Nara Solicitors and would not hesitate to use their services again or recommend them to others.
We had complexity in our case. They are really professional and they guided us throughout the whole process specially thanks to Sukhvinder sir and Arun dhanda sir
