How do I sponsor a migrant?

An interview panel

Tier 5 - international agreement

This page explains who can sponsor migrants under the tier 5 - international agreement category of the points-based system, and how the scheme works.

How to join the scheme

You must be a diplomatic mission or an international organisation recognised by the United Kingdom to get a licence to sponsor of private servants in diplomatic households or households of officials working for international organisations.

Diplomatic missions and international organisations must send a signed letter from the head of the mission or organisation, or his or her delegated person, confirming that they want a sponsor licence. You must show that the job or employment involved is covered by the terms of the agreement concerned.
