Sponsorships
When taking on employees from abroad, you’ll usually need a sponsor licence. This is a document of approval from the Home Office to sponsor migrant workers. To secure a sponsorship, you must check that your business is eligible, choose your licence type and decide who will manage it. If your application is successful, you will be given a licence rating, and you’ll be able to give out certificates of sponsorship. However, each country has different laws and regulations, which makes having a local expert like Payroll Worldwide so important.
It can be difficult to navigate if you’re new to the process. Here at Payroll Worldwide, our immigration services include securing sponsorships for employment, allowing you to carry out the global expansion of your workforce. To find out more about our work, please visit us on our services page.
Visas
There are different types of visas, depending on the objective, from tourist to doing business or working in the country, which allows for different stay times and permissions. When hiring from other countries, you need to ensure that your employee is living in the country legally. You can choose between long term and short-term visas, depending on how long the employee intends to stay. Different countries within Latin America have different visa requirements, so make sure you’re clued up if you’re a business in Latin America looking for employees.

Work Permit Applications
Before acquiring a work permit, you must ensure that your sponsorship has been successful. This certificate of sponsorship must have been issued to the employee for proof.
