Visas: Care Workers

Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 17 September 2025UIN 72651

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what administrative steps her Department takes in relation to an overseas care worker whose sponsorship visa has (a) expired or (b) been terminated.

Answered by Mike Tapp

There are no unique arrangements for care workers whose leave has expired and have been unable to find a suitable full-time vacancy in the sector prior to the expiration of their leave.

Individuals would be expected to regularise their stay or make arrangements to leave the UK.

Where employment has been terminated due to a sponsor being revoked or suspended, the worker is signposted to the relevant Regional Partnership for support.
