Open End sponsorship requirements for skilled worker visa holders already in the UK

Created by Mubashar Aslam Sulehria
Closes on

We believe skilled workers who follow the law, pay taxes and take no benefits should not face longer settlement or sponsorship dependence. We believe removing the sponsorship requirement for people on skilled worker visas is essential for safety and fairness.

Many skilled workers follow UK law, pay taxes, take no benefits, yet may face longer settlement periods and more sponsor dependency under new reforms. We believe sponsorship traps them in unsafe jobs and heightens modern slavery risks. Removing sponsorship requirements for those already in the UK could be vital to protecting their rights, safety, and dignity, and preventing exploitation caused by retrospective immigration changes.
