Mastering Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) Rules
A Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is an electronic record generated via the Home Office Sponsor Management System (SMS). It is mandatory before any Skilled Worker can apply for a visa. Led by Mr. Guganesan Shanmugam, Kingdom Legal Ltd advises sponsors on securing allocations without UKVI delays or refusals.
- Defined CoS: Mandatory for candidates applying for entry clearance from outside the UK.
- Undefined CoS: For in-country visa switches, extensions, and worker changes.
- Annual Allocation Management: Requesting additional allocations and justifying genuine business vacancies.
- CoS Error Rectification: Adding sponsor notes or reissuing CoS when errors occur to prevent visa refusals.
