Common questions about World First UK Limited
- Is World First UK Limited a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. World First UK Limited in London holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2019. 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 World First UK Limited sponsor?
- World First UK 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.
- Where is World First UK Limited based?
- The register lists World First UK Limited at Millbank Tower, 21-24 Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
