"Removed" means the organisation no longer appears on the published register. The register does not state whether a licence was revoked, surrendered or lapsed. An organisation can be re-listed later if its licence is reinstated.

What to do if your sponsor is on this list
If you hold a Skilled Worker visa and your employer's licence has been revoked, the Home Office normally curtails your permission to 60 days (or until your visa expires, if sooner) so that you can find a new sponsor, switch to another route or leave the UK. Check the register entry yourself, ask your employer in writing what has happened, and start the search immediately: every job on Tarve comes from an employer that is on the register today. If the licence was surrendered rather than revoked the same 60-day rule usually applies, so do not wait for a letter before acting. For the rules in detail see what happens when a Skilled Worker application or licence goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions
How many sponsor licences were revoked in October 2026?
1,099 organisations were removed from the Register of Licensed Sponsors between 1 and 29 October 2026. The register does not separate revocations from surrenders and expiries, so this is the total number of organisations that stopped appearing.
Is a B rating a warning sign?
Only slightly in this data: almost every organisation removed in October held an A rating when it disappeared. A B rating means the Home Office found compliance problems and set an action plan, but most removals come from organisations that were A-rated the day before.
How quickly does Tarve remove jobs from a delisted sponsor?
Every job is checked against the latest register each day, so jobs from an organisation that has been removed stop being listed within a day of the register change.
The Tarve team researches UK visa sponsorship directly from official gov.uk and Home Office sources — the register of licensed sponsors, the Immigration Rules, and published salary and going-rate data — to produce clear, regularly updated guides for international professionals. Tarve is an independent information and job-search service, not a regulated immigration adviser.
Figures and rules on this page are taken from official gov.uk and Home Office publications and were last verified on 2 November 2026. Tarve is an independent information and job-search service, not a regulated immigration adviser: guidance here is for information only, and you should always confirm the current rules on gov.uk.
