Sponsorship Simplified: No More Renewals
Friday 2nd February 2024
🎉 Exciting News for Sponsor Licence Holders!
Starting April 6, 2024, a major change is coming into effect for sponsors in the UK. Sponsors with a license expiry on or after this date will enjoy a significant benefit. They won't need to renew. Instead, all such licences will be automatically extended by 10 years!
📆 Important Dates and Actions:
Licences expiring between January 25, 2024, and April 6, 2024, need renewal and fee payment before expiry. Good news for those who have already submitted applications: refunds are on the way.
🔍 Why This Matters:
This change eliminates the mandatory four-year renewal cycle. The Home Office aims to "reduce administrative burdens and costs for sponsors." This streamlines the process.
In 2023, the renewal process involved fees, extensive paperwork, and compliance checks. It often required legal assistance.
