About UK Sponsor Finder
UK Sponsor Finder is a free, ad-supported tool that helps visa applicants and recruiters search across two public datasets:
- The UK Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors (Workers).
- The SOC 2020 occupation codes with the 2026 Skilled Worker minimum salary thresholds.
Data freshness
A scheduled job runs every 24 hours, downloads the latest sponsor CSV from GOV.UK, diffs it against our database, and pushes only new or changed rows. SOC code metadata is curated manually when the Home Office publishes updates.
Disclaimer
UK Sponsor Finder is not affiliated with the UK Government. Salary thresholds and visa rules change frequently — always cross-check against the official GOV.UK guidance before relying on this information for a visa application.
Data licensing
Every dataset on this site is reproduced under the Open Government Licence v3.0:
- SOC 2020 unit groups, parent hierarchy, and the ~30,000-row coding index come from the Office for National Statistics Standard Occupational Classification 2020 publication.
- The Register of Licensed Sponsors is published by the UK Home Office.
- The 2026 Skilled Worker going-rate salary thresholds come from the Home Office Skilled Worker eligible occupations publication.
We re-ingest the sponsor register daily and the SOC 2020 dataset annually (1 April, post Statement of Changes). Always cross-check against the original sources before relying on this data for a visa application.
