Visas: Sponsorship

Asked by Blake StephensonConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 12 January 2026UIN 101947

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many a) Government Departments and b) arms length bodies are registered to sponsor visas.

Answered by Anna Turley

The Cabinet Office does not hold any data on public sector entities that are licensed to sponsor visas. A precise list of organisations licensed to sponsor workers on the Worker and Temporary Worker immigration routes can be found by searching the government’s register of licensed sponsors on gov.uk.
