Match Your Visa Type to the Right UK Sponsor
Skilled Worker, Global Business Mobility, Creative Worker — every UK sponsor licence covers specific visa routes. Match yours to the right employers fast.
Not every UK licensed sponsor is authorised to sponsor every type of visa. To make your job search efficient, it's essential to use the Route Filter to isolate the organisations that match your specific visa category.
Common UK Visa Routes
Our tool lets you filter the dataset by the most common authorised routes, including:
- Skilled Worker: the standard route for professional and specialist roles. The largest single route on the register.
- Global Business Mobility: typically used for internal company transfers, senior assignments and graduate trainee schemes.
- Creative Worker: for professionals in the arts, fashion, music and entertainment sectors.
- Health and Care Worker, Minister of Religion, Sportsperson and other specialised routes also appear in the register.
Why Route Filtering Matters
If you're applying for a Skilled Worker visa but pursuing a company authorised only for Creative Worker roles, the application simply cannot proceed through the sponsorship process — regardless of how good your CV is. Engaging the Route Filter from the start ensures every result you see is a viable target for your specific visa needs.
Combine the Route Filter with the Sector Filter and a Town/City search to build a highly targeted shortlist that matches your visa, your industry and your location preferences in a single query.
