For employers hiring non-EEA nationals
If you decide to instruct us for your company’s sponsor licensing and Tier 2 visa application/s, the process we can undertake with you is as follows.
We offer staged payments for each of the following tasks i.e. payment is required when you instruct us to undertake work for each stage of the process.
Eligibility assessment - we will obtain relevant information about your
company, advise you in writing on the rules and requirements for
Sponsorship, Sponsor responsibilities and roles to appoint, documentation required for the registration and a review of these documents to ensure UKBA
compliance.
Our fee: £450 + VAT which includes phone / face to face
consultation/s at your office, email and phone advice, plus a review of
documents via fax or email.
Before registering for a license, it may be practical at the same time to
assess your potential Tier 2 applicant's eligibility for a Tier 2 visa and the applicant's immigration history.
This is done by reviewing the applicant’s background, full time role at your company and documents in support of the application.
Our fee: £350 + VAT which includes a phone / face to
face consultation with the applicant, plus email and phone advice)
Registration - we can complete and submit your online application and make
representations on your behalf to the UKBA in order to obtain a Certificate
of Sponsorship for the applicant.
Our fee: £200 + VAT
Compliance visits: if it becomes necessary for us to visit your office in
order to vet non-EEA employee records for compliance with UK Border Agency
requirements and Sponsor licensing, we will, with your consent, do so
before submitting the application (a separate fee may apply here depending
on the number of employee records).
Once a license is obtained and a Certificate of Sponsorship issued, the
employee (and dependents if any) will be required to make separate
applications to the UKBA for a Tier 2 visa (and Tier 2 dependent visas).
Our fee: £400 - £500 +VAT for the main applicant
For companies registered in the UK, a 20% VAT will be chargeable on top of our fee.
There are UKBA fees applicable for a Tier 2 sponsor license (£310 for a small company/sponsor, £1,025 for a large company/sponsor), a Certificate of Sponsorship to be issued (£175 per CoS) and for a Tier 2 application.
The UKBA fee for a Tier 2 application will differ, depending on whether the application
- is submitted in-country via the post or the premium / fast track service,
- is submitted to an overseas visa application centre to be considered by the overseas British post.
All paid advice will be provided by an experienced OISC Level 3 immigration advisor or solicitor who deals with Sponsorship matters and will be your dedicated caseworker, together with a business casework manager.
