Hiring a skilled worker from overseas requires a sponsor licence and depending on the nature of employment, you may need to apply for a worker licence or a temporary worker licence.
As an employer of a foreign worker, you will have specific duties and obligations to fulfil prior to and during employment, such as deciding which executive or senior employees will represent the organisation, and these employees cannot be shareholders.
During the application process, you will need to provide sufficient evidence that your organisation is legitimate and in need of foreign talent.
You can find more detailed information on the UK Government’s website here.
