Sponsorship comes with strict compliance of sponsor duties, which requires sponsors to keep track of changes in status and to keep the Home Office updated on changes. Noncompliance can result in action against the licence, as well as requests to the Home Office being refused. Businesses need to keep abreast of all immigration and employment law and guidance changes, as it is vital that sponsoring employers remain compliant if they want to continue sponsoring skilled workers in the UK.
