UK IMMIGRATION

Sponsorship management roles:

You need to appoint people within your business to manage the sponsorship process when you apply for a licence.

The main tool they’ll use is the sponsorship management system (SMS).

The roles are:

Authorising officer – a senior and competent person responsible for the actions of staff and representatives who use the SMS

Key contact – your main point of contact with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI)

Level 1 user – responsible for all day-to-day management of your licence using the SMS

These roles can be filled by the same person or different people.

UK-based legal representatives

You can allocate any of the roles to a UK-based legal representative, apart from the authorising officer role. Your representative must be qualified to give immigration advice or services.
