Before applying for International Sportsperson sponsor licence, you must make sure you have an endorsement from the Home Office approved sport governing body for your specific sport. The list of governing bodies currently approved by the Home Office, UKVI is given in Appendix M of the Immigration Rules. Through its endorsement, the sport governing body confirms to the Home Office, UKVI that you are a genuine club or equivalent, and you have a legitimate requirement to bring migrants to the UK as sportspeople.
How To Apply For International Sportsperson Sponsor Licence?
You can apply for the International Sportsperson sponsor licence online on the Home Office, UKVI website.
Once you have submitted your online application, you must then send to the Home Office, UKVI all of the following to validate your application. A valid application must:
- contain the original submission sheet (not a certified copy), which has been signed and dated by the Authorising Officer (all pages must be sent); and
- contain all of the documents listed on the submission sheet as mandatory documents (originals or certified copies); and
- all be sent in together within 5 working days of completion of the electronic application.
To get a International Sportsperson licence, you must apply to the Home Office, UKVI, supplying specified documents to prove that you are suitable and eligible. The Home Office, UKVI will carry out appropriate checks before deciding whether to grant the sponsor licence. The Home Office, UKVI considers an application to join the sponsor register by assessing whether you meet the relevant requirements. If your application for International Sportsperson Sponsor Licence is accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, you will be issued with SMS login ID and password to manage your sponsor licence online. Your sponsor licence will be valid for 4 years and can be renewed online prior to the expiry of the licence.
Assigning Of International Sportsperson Certificate Of Sponsorship (CoS)
Once you have been granted a International Sportsperson sponsor licence you will be able to assign certificates of sponsorship (CoS) to migrants who wish to come to, or stay in the UK to work as International Sportsperson. The Home Office, UKVI will decide how many certificates of sponsorship (CoS) you will be allowed to assign under International sponsorship licence.
For migrants, being assigned a certificate of sponsorship (CoS) is an essential part of qualifying for entry clearance (if they are outside the UK) or leave to remain (permission to extend their stay while in the UK). But there are also other requirements set out in the immigration rules that they must meet. They must score enough points, and are likely to be refused if there is anything in their personal or immigration history that suggests that their presence in the UK is not desirable.
Duties As A International Sportsperson Licenced Sponsor
As a International Sportsperson licensed sponsor, you must comply with certain duties, including, but not restricted to, a duty to inform the Home Office, UKVI if the International Sportsperson does not turn up for work, or if he is absent without permission for a significant period. You must also keep proper records of the migrants you sponsor, including contact details and a copy of their biometric residence permit (BRP), and supply any documentation to the Home Office, UKVI on request.
The Home Office, UKVI will monitor your behaviour and compliance with your duties once you have been granted International Sportsperson sponsor licence.
