What is Sponsor Licence suspension?

Sponsors are required to fulfil certain duties throughout the period of their licence’s validity. If the Home office believes that a sponsor has breached their duties or that they pose a threat to immigration control, they may revoke your sponsor licence.

What causes a Sponsor Licence to be Suspended?

A Sponsorship licence will be suspended if the business has failed to maintain their compliance duties.

If the business fails in any of the following the Home Office will suspend the Sponsorship Licence – Record Keeping duties, if the authorising personnel share their credentials, if the business fails to maintain their monitoring duties, reporting duties, failed to cooperate with the Home Office and failed to apply the Right to Work Checks.

How much time does a business have to reply to the Home Office after Suspension?

If a company has received notice that the Home Office has suspended their sponsor licence, they will have 20 working days to request a review on their suspension.

The response must be made in writing including supporting evidence and grounds to support their reasoning.

Can a business still Sponsor candidates if their licence is suspended?

If the licence is suspended the Sponsor will not be able to issue new Certificate of Sponsorships to any new applicants till the Home Office grants them an A-rated status.

They must continue to meet and comply with their Sponsorship Duties. If the business fails to, their response to the Sponsorship suspension from the Home Office will be weak and may lead to the revocation of the licence.

During the suspension of Licence should the business renew their Licence?
