    Skilled Worker Route Sponsorship Costs

    Skilled Worker Route Sponsorship Costs

    Welcome to the SmartMove2UK podcast, your go-to resource for demystifying UK immigration. Today, we're delving into the intricate world of Skilled Worker Route Sponsorship Costs for UK companies in 2024.

    If you're an employer eyeing the sponsorship of a foreign worker, understanding the financial landscape of the skilled worker visa process is paramount. We're here to guide you through the expenses you'll encounter, from the initial application to ongoing visa procedures.

    Let's start by unpacking the concept of UK visa sponsorship. This process grants UK employers the ability to hire non-resident workers but mandates obtaining a sponsor license from the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). We'll explore the requirements, responsibilities, and commitments involved in this process.

    Moving forward, we'll delve into the sponsorship license application fee structure, differentiating between small businesses & charities and larger corporations.

    Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) fees come under the spotlight next. Accurate assignment of CoS is crucial to avoid complications.

    We'll then navigate the Immigration Skills Charge (ISC), touching on exemptions and refund possibilities, alongside priority fees for expediting processing.

    But the journey doesn't end there. We'll also shine a light on visa application fees and the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), pivotal aspects for budgeting and compliance.

    How to check Certificate of Sponsorship Status?

    How to check Certificate of Sponsorship Status?

    If you’re coming to the UK to work, you may need a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) from your employer. A Certificate of Sponsorship is an electronic certificate that confirms your job offer and your employer’s sponsor licence number.




    All the migrants planning to work in the UK in a proper position and preparing to apply for a UK Skilled worker Visa will require a Certificate of Sponsorship because the application form of this particular visa demands a unique Certificate of Sponsorship reference number.


    How to check Certificate of Sponsorship status online?

    Many applicants have this dilemma regarding checking the status of a Certificate of Sponsorship online. However, applicants cannot directly check the status of their Certificate of Sponsorship through the UKVI website or Sponsorship Management System (SMS).


    Check the format of the CoS – there is a specified format of a certificate of sponsorship and it can be useful to check if the document you have received is in the right format.
    Check for consistency of information for example your personal information, data about your work category, salary etc.
    Check the sponsor’s information for example is the sponsor listed on the sponsor licence register.
