2024 UK Sponsored Work Visas
Comparison Tables
There are various “work visa” categories in the UK, many of which require sponsoring by a business with a relevant sponsor licence. Since the sponsor licence system was first introduced in 2008, these visa categories have evolved, some have been renamed, eligibility requirements have changed, and some have been abolished completely. We have created an easy-to-understand comparison of the complex system of work visas currently operating in the UK and their relevant requirements.
Abbiss Cadres’ UK immigration specialists advise on and assist with the preparation of relevant sponsor licence applications and associated sponsored visa applications. Understanding your recruitment needs enables us to advise on appropriate UK work visa categories for your business.
Our comparison tables show the most relevant sponsored work visa categories and some non-sponsored work visas, as well as the changes to predecessor categories.
