Common questions about The Scotch Whisky Association
- Is The Scotch Whisky Association a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. The Scotch Whisky Association in Edinburgh 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 The Scotch Whisky Association sponsor?
- The Scotch Whisky Association 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 The Scotch Whisky Association based?
- The register lists The Scotch Whisky Association at 1st Floor, Quartermile Two, 2 Lister Square, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH3 9GL. 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 SC035148. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
