STUDENT SPONSOR LICENCE
We provide immigration advice and guidance to help your Student Sponsor Licence application get the best chance of success
A Student sponsor is an education provider that can sponsor international students to study in the UK. Some types of institution (academies and state-funded schools) are not eligible to apply for a Student sponsor licence. Read the sponsor guidance to find out if your institution is eligible.
How to apply for a Student sponsor licence
-
Check that your education provider or institution meets the sponsor requirements in the sponsor guidance and is ready to comply with them.
-
Decide who will fill the sponsor management roles within your institution.
-
Estimate the number of confirmations of acceptance for studies (CAS) you are eligible to apply for in the first year of your licence.
-
Apply online and pay the fee.
-
Send UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) the documents listed in sponsor guidance appendix A.
- If your application is approved, you’ll be given probationary sponsor status and emailed a login for the sponsorship management system. This is an online tool which lets you carry out your day-to-day sponsorship activities.
-
When you successfully apply for a Student sponsor licence, UKVI will give you a probationary sponsor licence. This is a transitional period lasting 12 months whilst you demonstrate you can fulfil all of your duties as a Student sponsor. You must apply for a basic compliance assessment after 12 months. This is to assess whether you meet the core requirements to remain a Student sponsor.
