Immediate Actions If Your Sponsor Loses Their Licence
When a sponsor loses their licence, the effects on your visa status are immediate:
Your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) will be cancelled.
Your visa will be limited to 60 days, or less if your current visa expires sooner.
It's crucial to act quickly. You must either find a new sponsor and apply for a new visa, or prepare to leave the UK. Fard Solicitors can assist in reviewing your eligibility for other visas or sponsorship opportunities.
Possible Reasons for Sponsor Licence Revocation
Licence suspension due to compliance failures.
Changes in company ownership.
Failure to renew the sponsor licence.
