If you're on a Skilled Worker, Health and Care Worker or Scale-up Worker visa, or hoping to get one, the register of licensed sponsors has been updated again. GOV.UK shows the page as last updated on 19 October 2026. The latest change history entry reads "Updated register of licensed sponsors."

This is a later refresh than the 16 October update. The entry does not say which employers were added or removed.

GOV.UK describes the register as a "List of organisations licensed to sponsor workers on the Worker and Temporary Worker immigration routes." Your visa depends on your employer holding a valid sponsor licence. So check the register before you rely on a job offer or a Certificate of Sponsorship. Open the GOV.UK page, use the latest version of the register and look up your employer's name.
