Worker sponsor register updated on 26 October 2026
27 Oct 2026
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) updated its register of licensed sponsors for Worker and Temporary Worker routes on 26 October 2026. The GOV.UK page shows this as the latest entry in its update history: "Updated register of licensed sponsors."
The page describes the register as a "List of organisations licensed to sponsor workers on the Worker and Temporary Worker immigration routes." This covers routes such as Skilled Worker and Health and Care Worker.
If you are on a sponsored work visa, or plan to apply or change jobs, you can search the register to check that an employer is licensed. Use the latest version of the register, as it changes often. This update does not tell us which sponsors were added or removed.
If you cannot find your employer, ask them to confirm their licence status before you accept an offer or apply.
