Common questions about Stack Overflow Ltd
- Is Stack Overflow Ltd a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. Stack Overflow Ltd in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2020. 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 Stack Overflow Ltd sponsor?
- Stack Overflow Ltd 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.
- Where is Stack Overflow Ltd based?
- The register lists Stack Overflow Ltd at Bentima House, 168-172 Old Street, London, EC1V 9BP. 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 08054620. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
