sponsor's reporting duties

Your sponsor must report to the UKBA:

 

• if you do not turn up for your first day at work;
• if you are absent from work for more than 10 working days without the sponsor's permission;
• if your contract of employment (including if you resign or are dismissed) or if any registration you need to work in the UK (such as with a governing body) is ended;
• if they stop sponsoring you for any other reason, for example, if you move in to an immigration category that does not need sponsorship;
• if there are any significant changes in your circumstances, for example, a change of job or salary (but not job title or annual pay rise); any suspicions they may have that you are breaking the conditions of your permission to stay.

 

You must give your sponsor all the information they need to be able to meet the duties above. If you do not, UKBA may investigate the sponsor and take action against you both. If you are an employer, see all the sponsorship duties including record keeping, reporting, and compliance in the employers and sponsor section.
