UK Visas and Immigration provides premium sponsor licence

For an additional fee of £200, sponsors will be able to subscribe to a new optional premium service.

This will enable sponsors licensed under Tier 2 and Tier 5 to receive expedited review of their sponsor management system (SMS) applications.

This will help sponsors who are frustrated by the long delays in government responses to certain types of SMS requests, including requests for:

Annual allocation of Certificates of Sponsorship
One-off request for a Certificate of Sponsorship
The appointment of a new authorising officer
The appointment of a new Level 1 user
