UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) is actively reaching out to
employers whose Sponsor Licences are set to expire between now and
the middle of 2021
In an email, UKVI advises that
due to upcoming changes in the U.K. immigration
system, they decided to allow sponsors whose licence
expires within the next year to request renewal well in advance of
the usual timeframes.
Typically, UKVI reaches out to sponsors no more than four months
in advance of an upcoming Sponsor Licence expiration and advise
sponsors to complete their online renewal application three months
in advance at the earliest.
Now, however, once sponsors receive the renewal email from UKVI,
they can request renewal from the date stated within the
invitation.
