Questions
UK visa sponsors: common questions
- How do I check if a UK company can sponsor a visa?
- Search its legal name on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors (GOV.UK, updated on working days). The brand name often differs from the legal name, so this list shows both. Check that the entry includes the Skilled Worker route, which is what most new hires need. The register lists 127,303 organisations, 121,982 of them licensed for Skilled Worker.
- Does being on the register mean a company will sponsor me?
- No. It means the company can sponsor workers. Whether a particular role is open to sponsorship is up to the employer, and most job ads don't say: 10 of the 82 companies hiring AI roles here mention visa sponsorship in at least one UK ad. Ask the recruiter early.
- What do the A and B ratings mean?
- An A rating means the sponsor licence is in good standing. The Home Office downgrades a sponsor to B when it isn't meeting its duties, and a B-rated sponsor generally can't sponsor new workers until it's back to A. Premium means the sponsor pays for a priority service.
- Which UK companies hiring AI engineers can sponsor visas?
- As of 12 Nov 2026, Faculty (39), Amazon (35), Mistral AI (32), Wayve (16), Anthropic (13), Databricks (13) have the most open UK AI roles among employers on the register. 423 UK AI roles at 82 registered employers in total.
