Certificate of Sponsorship
A Certificate of Sponsorship is an electronic sponsorship record used in UK work visa applications by approved sponsors for eligible roles.
Why it matters
UK work visa applicants cannot treat a job offer as enough unless the employer and role fit sponsor requirements.
Caveats
- Sponsor status, occupation and salary rules must be checked on GOV.UK.
- The certificate does not guarantee visa approval.
- Scams may misuse the term.
