No. State Oil Limited in WEYBRIDGE is no longer on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors (removed on 22 October 2026), and Companies House shows the company has ceased trading. It cannot sponsor new visa applications. ### When did State Oil Limited leave the sponsor register? State Oil Limited left the register on 22 October 2026. Companies House shows the company was winding up or had ceased trading. GOV.UK gives no reason, so this does not establish why the licence ended. ### What visa routes can State Oil Limited sponsor? State Oil Limited was licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence rating on the register is "Worker (A rating)". ### Where is State Oil Limited based? The register lists State Oil Limited at Harvest House Horizon Business Village, 1 Brooklands Road, Weybridge, Surrey, United Kingdom, KT13 0TJ. This is usually the head office; the job itself may be somewhere else. ### How current is this information?
