In a challenging marketplace, it is vital that you have access to specialist, expert advice to support you to navigate around the complexities of immigration law.

Our services at a glance:

Recruiting foreign workers

Complex and elaborate processes are involved when recruiting workers from abroad or currently in the UK with another type of visa. It’s critical that HR professionals and employers follow the correct processes and stay on the right side of the law.

We can advise on:

  • Work visas options and which route is most appropriate
  • How to apply for a sponsor licence for skilled workers, global mobility visas, scale up workers and ministers of religion
  • How to prepare a sponsor licence application to maximise chances of success
  • Navigating the Sponsor Management System
  • Extending visas of current staff
  • How to ensure compliance with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) obligations

Business visitors from abroad

Working in a globally connected world means that colleagues or other business partners may need to visit your UK-based organisation. We can support you with:

  • Suitable visa options from your planned trip 
  • Evidence to support your visit visa application
  • Off-shore worker visa issues

Setting up business in the UK

The processes and documentation required for immigration-related practices aren’t always immediately evident to entrepreneurs. We can help ensure that your start up is compliant with immigration practices from the get-go. We can provide:
 
  • Advice on appropriate visa routes
  •  Support throughout the process of application
  • Ongoing assistance once you are set up in the UK, hand-in-hand with our employment law support.

Right to Work checks

Employers have a responsibility to ensure that anyone taking employment with them has the right to work in the UK. This is proved by ensuring the correct checks are carried out on or before the first day of employment and records are kept in accordance with government guidance. We can ensure you’re compliant with legal obligations when employing migrant workers,

  • By providing comprehensive Right to Work virtual training
  • We can carry out Right to Work audits to ensure your continued compliance
  • In addition, together with our reemployment law expertise, we are able to advise on difficult Right to Work cases, including how to manage any dismissal process where someone does not have the right to work.

“Together with several members of our HR team, I attended esphr’s immigration sponsor license training course recently. It was a really enjoyable session and we found it incredibly useful, given the constant changes to immigration legislation over the last couple of years. The training not only covered what we need to know as sponsors, but it was also tailored to our specific business needs. We took away some actionable steps to ensure we’re being compliant and meeting our legal obligations.”
