Visa sponsorship explained

Morson Talent states Visa Sponsorship is available for qualified candidates. In the UK, sponsorship typically operates under the Skilled Worker route. Here is how it usually works:

• The employer must hold a Home Office sponsor licence and confirm the role is eligible for sponsorship, including the correct occupation code and pay level.
• If you are selected and sponsorship is available for your role, the employer issues a Certificate of Sponsorship.
• You apply for the Skilled Worker visa using your CoS number and supporting documents, and pay the application and healthcare fees.
• After a decision, you travel to the UK and collect your permit after arrival.

Final visa eligibility depends on government rules in place at the time, the job’s occupation code, and salary thresholds. Your offer letter will state clearly if sponsorship is included. Always verify the employer’s sponsor licence and the role’s eligibility before committing.
