This page explains the rules you must follow to co-operate with us as a sponsor under the points-based system.
You must co-operate with us as follows:
- allow our staff access to any of your premises on demand. Visits may be either prearranged or unannounced;
- stick to any sponsorship action plan set by us;
- look to minimise the risk of immigration abuse by complying with any good practice guidance that we or any sector body may produce for you in particular tiers or sectors.
