The UK's Most Comprehensive Sponsor List
The sponsor list UK is a searchable database of every company licensed by the Home Office to sponsor foreign workers under the UK's points-based immigration system. Our UK sponsor list includes 127,039+ active sponsors from the official tier 2 sponsor list (now known as the Skilled Worker route), updated daily from the GOV.UK sponsor list.
Whether you're searching for the UK skilled worker visa sponsor list, looking for a list of companies that can sponsor visa in UK 2026, or need a quick tier 2 sponsor licence check — our free tools make it simple to find and verify UK visa sponsors.
Who Can Sponsor UK Work Visas?
Only organisations with an active sponsor licence from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) can sponsor workers on the Skilled Worker visa, Health and Care Worker visa, or other sponsored routes. The UKVI sponsorship list currently contains 127,039 licensed sponsors, and our daily sponsor licence checker lets you verify any company's status instantly.
Companies must apply for a licence, meet strict compliance requirements, and maintain their A-rating to continue sponsoring workers. You can perform a sponsor licence check at any time. Sponsors can have their licence suspended or revoked if they fail to meet Home Office standards — which is why checking a company's current status before accepting a job offer is essential.
How to Use the UK Sponsor List
Our sponsor search tool lets you filter the entire sponsor list by company name, city, industry, and visa route. You can browse all sponsors, find companies in specific UK cities, or explore opportunities in high-demand industries like technology, healthcare, and finance.

Popular Sectors for Visa Sponsorship

Tier 2 Sponsor List — What You Need to Know
