Common questions about Microsoft Limited

Is Microsoft Limited a licensed UK visa sponsor?
Yes. Microsoft Limited in Reading holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2013. 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 Microsoft Limited sponsor?
Microsoft Limited is licensed for Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and 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.
Does Microsoft Limited have any jobs open right now?
We are currently tracking 17 live vacancies advertised by Microsoft Limited across major UK job boards. Listings are matched to this employer by name, and a vacancy appearing here does not by itself mean the role is being offered with sponsorship — check the advert or ask the employer.
Where is Microsoft Limited based?
The register lists Microsoft Limited at Microsoft Campus, Thames Valley Park, Reading, Berkshire, RG6 1WG. 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 01624297. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
