Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of restrictions on employment for skilled workers who have submitted an application to remain in the UK on their application following the loss or revocation of their sponsor's licence.

Those holding skilled worker visas who have had their leave cancelled following their sponsor’s licence revocation have 60 days to find an alternative means to remain in the UK. This can be within the Skilled Worker route or via another route for which they are eligible.

If they are employed in a role that is no longer permissible for new entrants, they will still benefit from transitional arrangements if they should they apply for a Skilled Worker role, prior to their leave expiring. This means that the restrictions are limited to the period of time they have to regularise their stay.

Published guidance on this matter can be found at: Employees: if your visa sponsor loses their licence - GOV.UK.
