Information for Employers
We are a sponsor for the Tier 5 Government Authorised Exchange visa. This is a work visa that allows candidates to take internships or other work placement opportunities with UK employers. Our role is to take over sponsorship responsibilities for employers who do not hold a sponsor license.
We understand that many employers of EU nationals are facing the work visa process for the first time and we are here to assure you that it’s easier than you think! Please see below for answers to some Frequently Asked Questions and ways to get in touch!
