The webinar will guide you to preparing a successful sponsor licence application, so you can recruit international workers for years to come.

With limited ways to challenge a potential refusal, careful planning and preparation will go a long way to achieving a successful application outcome first time round.

Hear from an experienced immigration lawyer on how to:

  • Identify mandatory documents and evidence for the sponsor licence application
  • Determine which additional documents will help you meet the requirements   
  • Prepare for a Home Office inspection following submission of the application
  • Understand a refusal decision letter and how to move forward

Need some questions answered after watching the webinar? No problem. Scottish employers can benefit from free tailored advice appointments with an immigration lawyer to help you on your application journey.
