Common questions about Patrons International
- Is Patrons International a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. Patrons International in Kilkeel holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2023. 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 Patrons International sponsor?
- Patrons International is licensed for Charity Worker, Religious Worker and Tier 2 Ministers of Religion. 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 Patrons International based?
- The register lists Patrons International at Hall Gate House, 39a Cranfield Road, Kilkeel, County Down, BT34 4LJ. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
