Before you spend weeks applying, check whether a UK employer actually holds a Skilled Worker sponsor licence (the visa formerly called Tier 2). This is a free lookup of the official UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors (published 2026-09-25) — no account needed.
🛂 Check any employer now →A sponsor licence means an employer can sponsor a work visa — it doesn't mean they're hiring now, or will sponsor a specific role. The register lists legal entities, which can differ from brand names.
This sponsor licence checker (“sponsor license”, if you learned the US spelling) is free, needs no account, covers the full register, and is refreshed daily — no data hidden behind an extension or a paywall.
