Common questions about English PEN
- Is English PEN a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. English PEN in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2014. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
- What visa routes can English PEN sponsor?
- English PEN is licensed for Charity Worker and Creative Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Temporary Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is English PEN based?
- The register lists English PEN at 24 Bedford Row, London, England, WC1R 4EH. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
- How current is this information?
- This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal, alongside Companies House records for company number 05747142. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
