Originally posted by northernladuk View PostSorry to be blunt but are you doing this to get your mate or family member a visa so they can come over or has your business grown to the point you can take an employee on? That last question makes me think it's not the latter. If there was a good chance to make more money I would have thought you would have put a bit more research in first.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostCertainly seems like the cart before the horse - a person has been identified before the role/demand is available.
OP, on what basis are you sponsoring someone from outside the UK / EU? Have you advertised the role and you cannot find suitable candidates?Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostSponsors licence - costs about £3k from memory, plus visit from Home Office showing you are a bona fide consultancy etc and not a contractor facilitating visas for his mates etc.
Must pay employee £35k or over.
Must perform Resident Market Labour Test to prove (ie PROVE) no UK or EU candidate is suitable, showing adverts in prescribed journals etc, and interview list and transcripts.
UKVI are aware of this trick.
So no, you can't use it to import your mate/brother-in-law/uncle whatever
I guess the 2 things that need to be satisfied is whether the role is advertised and no suitable candidate can be found, and that my company can support their costs.Comment

Hiring employees for my IT Ltd
Originally posted by Skag View PostI want to start my own consultancy and my friend says he's looking for a job (already living and working in the UK for a few years but will need a visa sponsorship). So I thought it would be a good starting point if I find someone who is looking for a person, to hire my friend under my company to kick off slowly my own consultancy.
What were the conditions of the original visa?Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostMight be none of my business, but if your friend is here without a valid working visa then the answer is not for him to get a job, but to go back home?
