FAQ
Sponsoring a visa in Birmingham, answered
01How many employers in Birmingham can sponsor a visa?
3,334 licence entries on the Home Office register are based in Birmingham — 2.33% of all licensed sponsors in the UK (register dated Nov 4, 2026). Each entry is one employer licensed for one route; a large employer can hold more than one entry.
02Which visa route do most Birmingham sponsors hold?
The Skilled Worker route dominates: 2,961 of Birmingham's 3,334 entries (88.8%). 2,961 entries are on the Skilled Worker route, which covers most ordinary jobs — if you are applying for a regular role, that is the route to check an employer against.
03Are Birmingham's sponsors in good standing?
3,332 of the 3,334 entries (99.9%) hold an A rating, which means the sponsor is meeting its sponsorship duties. A B rating means UK Visas and Immigration has put the sponsor on an action plan, and a B-rated sponsor cannot take on new sponsored workers until it earns its A rating back.
04Does a sponsor licence mean Birmingham employers are hiring now?
No — a licence only means the employer is allowed to sponsor. Hiring is separate. Right now no live job in Birmingham on our board mentions sponsorship — new listings arrive as employers' boards are re-checked every day, and the 3,334 sponsors above can be approached directly in the meantime. Always confirm sponsorship with the employer when you apply.
05How do I check one Birmingham employer before I apply?
Search the employer's name in the full sponsor licence list, filtered to Birmingham. If it appears with the route you need and an A rating, the employer held a valid licence on the register date. Then apply with a UK-format CV — a licence opens the door, but the application still has to win the job.
