What you get
Everything you need to hunt UK visa sponsors
Every source, one place
We take jobs straight from company career pages and the hiring software they run on, so roles that never make it to a job board still show up here. By the time one lands on LinkedIn or Indeed, you're already late.
Visa issuance trends
Plenty of licensed companies haven't sponsored anyone in years. We chart every sponsor's issuance history, split by route — so you can see who is growing, who went quiet, and who is mostly transferring their own staff into the UK rather than hiring.
What the records say
Tribunal cases, gender pay gap, Companies House filings, who's raised money lately. The stuff you'd want to know before you tie your visa to an employer.
AI visa assistant
Ask whether your salary clears the threshold, or what switching routes involves. Answers come from current Home Office rules, not a forum post from 2019.
Job alerts
Save a search, and we'll email you when a matching role from a licensed sponsor goes up. Being early matters more than it should.

Frequently asked questions
What is licensed sponsor (visa sponsor) in the UK?
A licensed sponsor is a UK company that the Home Office has approved to hire workers from outside the UK. To get that licence, the company has to meet government criteria — mostly around the role, the salary, and how they manage compliance.
If you've got an offer from a company that isn't licensed and the role itself is eligible (the gov.uk list is the source of truth), you can ask them to apply. A lot of employers don't realise the option exists until a candidate brings it up.
Why do we need to hunt UK visa sponsors?
Most UK companies can't sponsor a visa, even if they want to. They need a Home Office licence, and most don't have one. So the real job search isn't "find a job," it's "find a job at a company that can actually hire you." That's why this site exists.
Do all the jobs on Hunt UK Visa Sponsors offer visa sponsorship?
No. The companies are licensed to sponsor, but the specific role still has to meet the salary threshold and SOC code rules. Some roles at a sponsor qualify, some don't.
Worth saying though: getting in at a licensed sponsor in any suitable role is still useful. Once you're inside and have proved your value, asking about sponsorship for a future move is a much easier conversation than asking a stranger.
Is Hunt UK Visa Sponsors affiliated with the licensed sponsor companies?
No. We're independent. We don't represent the companies, have no commercial relationship with them, and can't speak for them on hiring or sponsorship. Applications always go to the company directly, through the link we provide.
How accurate is the information on Hunt UK Visa Sponsors?
The sponsor list comes straight from the UK government's published register, so "is this company licensed?" is reliable. We match each company to its website and job listings ourselves, and that matching is occasionally wrong.
If you spot a bad match or a stale listing, the "Suggest an edit" button on the company page is the fastest way to flag it.
Can Hunt UK Visa Sponsors help me get a job or sponsor my visa?
No. We're not a recruiter, and we can't sponsor anyone. Only the employer can do that.
We list the companies that hold a sponsorship licence and link straight to their job postings. That's it. You apply on the employer's own site, so your CV and contact details never pass through us. Who they hire is entirely their decision.
