The Process

 

Getting sponsorship is easy! Just complete the following steps:

Step 1: Check your eligibility

You can check our criteria HERE

Step 2: Register your company with us

If you have never used our services before, you can register with us HERE and we will get in touch with you to further discuss your eligibility

Step 3: Submit your application

Once you have registered with us, you can apply for a Certificate of Sponsorship HERE

Step 4: Pay the fees

We only charge fees if the application is approved. Once we have approved and offered sponsorship, we will send our Terms of Service and invoice the employer. You can view our current fee structure HERE

Step 5: Receive Certificate of Sponsorship

Once we have issued the Certificate of Sponsorship, your intern can proceed to apply for the visa. Information about the visa, including current fees and processing times can be found HERE

 
 

Time Frame

We suggest that you start the process at least 4-6 weeks in advance of the start date of the internship. We always aim to get you through the process as quickly as possible, but every application is different and not all applications will be approved in the same amount of time. Here is an overview of what to expect in terms of timeframe:

  • 2-5 working days to assess the CoS request (if we require extra clarification or documentation, or if anything is missing, it could take longer)

  • 2-5 working days to issue the Certificate of Sponsorship after payment has been received

  • At least 3 weeks for the visa to be processed for candidates applying from outside the UK
