Sponsor licences can be revoked if you are failing to follow the Home Office rules for UK sponsors to foreign workers. These rules include recording information about the migrant workers you hire:
- any passport pages that identify them and prove their eligibility to work in the UK,
- a copy of their biometric residence permit,
- a copy of their National Insurance number,
- their contact details, which must be kept up-to-date,
- a letter from the worker’s parents if they’re under 18,
- a copy of any Disclosure and Barring Service check if one was required,
- a record of their absences,
- If you are sponsoring workers through a Tier 5 International Agreement, a copy of the contract and tender document are needed, or evidence of how that contract was awarded.
You must provide all this information to the Home Office on request
Home Office Checks may be done in-person, by telephone, or by post. You will not get an indication of the compliance office’s assessment, instead, the information will be reviewed and used to come to a decision.
There is no recourse if your sponsor licence has been revoked unless there has been a mistake by the Home Office. Otherwise, you have to wait for a one-year cool-down period to pass before you will again become eligible to hold a sponsor licence.
