Comment SPONSORWhich companies can sponsor your visa? UK + Netherlands official lists
Both governments publish the full list of employers licensed to sponsor foreign workers. Check here before you apply, so you stop wasting applications.
| Country | Official register | What it means | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇬🇧 | UK | Register of licensed sponsors: workers (GOV.UK) | Employers allowed to sponsor a Skilled Worker visa |
| 🇳🇱 | Netherlands | Public register of recognised sponsors (IND) | Employers allowed to bring in a highly skilled migrant |
How to use the UK register
- Open the GOV.UK page and download the spreadsheet (it is updated regularly).
- Filter the Route column for Skilled Worker.
- Filter Town/City for where you want to live (London, Manchester, Edinburgh…).
- Search the company names on LinkedIn or their careers page for roles in your field.
How to use the Netherlands register
- Open the IND page and pick the list for work: regular labour and highly skilled migrants.
- Search by company name, or scan it for companies in your industry.
- Many startups and tech companies are on it, not just big names.
Being on the list means the company can sponsor. It does not promise it will sponsor your role, so always check the job listing or ask HR.
