Eligibility Requirements For T5 International Agreement Sponsor Licence

To apply for a licence to sponsor under the T5 (Temporary Worker) International Agreement category you must intend to sponsor:

  • employees of overseas governments
  • employees of international organisations
  • private servants in diplomatic households or households of officials working for international organisations

You must be a diplomatic mission or international organisation recognised by the UK (an international organisation includes offices of ‘states’ not recognised by the UK). The ’List of international organisations whose employees qualify for exempt entry clearances’ is available on GOV.UK. If you are applying as an international organisation, you must be named on this list.

An application for a sponsor licence amounts to an acknowledgement that the Home Office, UKVI may seek, from your Head of Mission or Head of Organisation, a limited waiver of inviolability and of immunity in order to enter your residence or premises to undertake compliance activity relating to your application or your sponsor licence.

When making your application, you must send a signed letter from your Head of Mission, or Head of Organisation, confirming that they:

  • agree to the application being made
  • wish to sponsor migrants under T5 (Temporary Worker) International Agreement
  • accept the sponsorship requirements

How To Apply For T5 International Agreement Sponsor Licence?

You can apply for the T5 International Agreement sponsor licence online on the Home Office, UKVI website.

Once you have submitted your online application, you must then send to the Home Office, UKVI all of the following to validate your application. A valid application must:

  • contain the original submission sheet (not a certified copy), which has been signed and dated by the Authorising Officer (all pages must be sent); and
  • contain all of the documents listed on the submission sheet as mandatory documents (originals or certified copies); and
  • all be sent in together within 5 working days of completion of the electronic application.

To get a T5 International Agreement sponsor licence, you must apply to the Home Office, UKVI, supplying specified documents to prove that you are suitable and eligible. The Home Office, UKVI will carry out appropriate checks before deciding whether to grant the T5 International Agreement sponsor licence. The Home Office, UKVI considers an application to join the sponsor register by assessing whether you meet the relevant requirements. If your application for T5 International Agreement Sponsor Licence is accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, you will be issued with SMS login ID and password to manage your T5 International Agreement sponsor licence online.

Assigning Of T5 International Agreement Worker Certificate Of Sponsorship (CoS)

Once you have been granted a T5 International Agreement sponsor licence you will be able to assign certificates of sponsorship (CoS) to migrants who wish to come to, or stay in the UK to work as T5 International Agreement Worker. The Home Office, UKVI will decide how many certificates of sponsorship (CoS) you will be allowed to assign under T5 sponsorship licence.

For migrants, being assigned a certificate of sponsorship (CoS) is an essential part of qualifying for entry clearance (if they are outside the UK) or leave to remain (permission to extend their stay while in the UK). But there are also other requirements set out in the immigration rules that they must meet. They must score enough points, and are likely to be refused if there is anything in their personal or immigration history that suggests that their presence in the UK is not desirable.

Duties As A T5 International Agreement Worker Licenced Sponsor

As a T5 International Agreement Worker licensed sponsor, you must comply with certain duties, including, but not restricted to, a duty to inform the Home Office, UKVI if the T5 International Agreement Worker does not turn up for work, or if he is absent without permission for a significant period. You must also keep proper records of the migrants you sponsor, including contact details and a copy of their biometric residence permit (BRP), and supply any documentation to the Home Office, UKVI on request.

The Home Office, UKVI will monitor your behaviour and compliance with your duties once you have been granted T5 International Agreement sponsor licence.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service for My ILR Application Today I received the news that my ILR application has been granted, and I wanted to take a moment to thank Usman Ahmad and the entire team at Sunrise Solicitors. I have dealt with many professionals over the years, but what stood out about Usman was that I never felt like just another case number. Throughout the process, he was patient, honest, and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how small they seemed. Immigration applications can be stressful because so much depends on getting things right, but having someone knowledgeable and dependable in your corner makes a huge difference. What I appreciated most was the confidence and reassurance he provided from start to finish. Every document, requirement, and query was handled professionally, which allowed me to focus on my family and work without constantly worrying about the application. Receiving my ILR approval today is an important milestone for me and my family, and I genuinely appreciate the support Usman provided in helping me reach it. My wife, daughter, and son will be making their applications in the future, and I already know who I will be instructing. I will definitely be returning to Usman and Sunrise Solicitors for their applications. Thank you once again for your dedication, professionalism, and support throughout my journey. Highly recommended.

I recently completed the second 2.5-year extension of my residency with Sunrise Solicitors. Mr Asif Rizwy handled both extensions and was professional, proactive, and genuinely invested in my case. His guidance and attention to detail played an important role in the success of my application. What stood out most was that working with Mr Asif felt like working with someone who truly cared about the outcome. Thank you, Mr Asif and Sunrise Solicitors. I would also like to thank Ritvee at Sunrise Solicitors. Her calm, reassuring manner when speaking with clients made me feel confident that I was in the right place. Thank you, Ritvee. I would highly recommend Sunrise Solicitors to anyone looking for professional, supportive, and reliable immigration legal services.

Usman Ahmad and Miss Jerin at Sunrise Solicitors were efficient, prompt and highly professional throughout a complex case involving past visa refusals. They requested all necessary documents, compiled the case thoroughly and handled everything with confidence. If you have a complex situation or previous refusals, I would highly recommend Sunrise Solicitors. They will also be handling our future visa applications.
