The UK Government has updated its official list of employers licensed to sponsor foreign workers, providing jobseekers with a current resource for identifying organisations that may be able to sponsor eligible workers.
The Register of Licensed Sponsors: Workers, published on GOV.UK, contains organisations authorised to sponsor workers under the UK’s Worker and Temporary Worker immigration routes.
The latest version of the register was updated on September 4, 2026, according to the UK Government.
The register can be useful for people outside the UK who are searching for jobs that could potentially lead to visa sponsorship, allowing them to research licensed employers before applying for vacancies.
Rather than applying to employers at random, jobseekers can use the register to identify organisations that hold a valid sponsor licence and then check whether they have suitable vacancies.
