UK provides many opportunities for migration based on employment by a UK based company.
In order to apply for one of the sponsorship based immigration categories, the UK employer needs to receive a Sponsorship licence from the Home Office which will allow the employer to hire workers from overseas. The type of Sponsorship licence depends on a visa category chosen for the worker.
