Documents Required for the Sponsor Licence Renewal in Special Cases

Most sponsor licence renewals do not require any additional documents since the sponsor’s original supporting documents are already submitted at the time of licence application. However, certain specified cases require new documentary evidence for successful licence renewals. These include:

  • The Tier 2(Sportsperson) and Tier 5(Temporary Worker) sponsors must submit an endorsement from a sports governing body
  • The Tier 5 International Agreement Worker sponsors, which are an international organisation or a diplomatic mission, must provide a letter signed by the head of the organisation’s office in the UK to confirm agreement to the licence renewal application. 

It is possible that you get compliance visit from Home Office once you submit the renewal application. The Home Office has the authority to request any additional document or records for verification purpose during its inspection once you have successfully applied for the licence renewal. Yes UK Immigration can assist you in correctly collating these documents and staying prepared at all times. Our dedicated legal teams lay supreme emphasis on providing you with a smooth experience from the start to the end of the process.

What can be the reasons for my Sponsor Licence Renewal Refusal?

The possible reasons which can lead to the refusal of your Sponsor Licence Renewal application include:

  • When the employer failed to keep the required records
  • If the employer did not report changes made in the company 
  • The employer failed to respond to the UKVI requests and enquiries promptly
  • When the employer did not comply with their given sponsorship duties 
  • When the employer neglected to fill vacancies locally before offering a job to an overseas individual

These common grounds can also result in the suspension, refusal, downgrading or revocation of your sponsor licence. In some instances, these reasons can lead to possible civil penalties as well. This is why sponsor licence holders must always comply with the rules laid by Home Office.
