UK Visa Sponsor Register API - Skilled Worker Sponsors

Returns every company licensed to sponsor UK work visas from the official Home Office Register of licensed sponsors (workers), which GOV.UK republishes every working day: organisation name, town/city, county, rating (A / B / Provisional) and visa route (Skilled Worker, Global Business Mobility, Scale-up, Creative Worker, Seasonal Worker and more).

Filter by town, county, visa route, rating or company name, export to Excel / CSV / Google Sheets, or schedule it with Only new sponsors to get the companies that were licensed since your last run.

Who uses it

• Job seekers who need visa sponsorship: a ready list of employers in your city that can legally sponsor you.
• Recruiters and staffing agencies: new sponsors are companies actively hiring from abroad - perfect leads.
• Immigration lawyers and relocation services: monitor newly licensed and downgraded (B-rated) sponsors.
• Researchers and journalists: sponsor counts by city, county, route and sector.
