Yes. Melli Bank Plc in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2019. 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 Melli Bank Plc sponsor? Melli Bank Plc is licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record. ### Where is Melli Bank Plc based? The register lists Melli Bank Plc at 98a Kensington High Street, London, W8 4SG. 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?
