UKS

Overview

This dummy util goes through a list of organisations licensed to sponsor workers on the Worker and Temporary Worker immigration routes and checks if a provided company in this list.

It may be useful when you travel abroad and then go back to the UK. Sometimes companies forget to renew a license and the law says it our requirement to check it before travelling to the UK, otherwise, it may be considered as an offence fly and it happens that a company has an expired license, moreover, nobody wants to stuck at the border.

The list lives here:
