Genuineness and eligible role considerations in sponsored worker routes
This Practice Note examines genuineness and eligible role issues across sponsored worker routes. These include, among other aspects, whether vacancies/roles genuinely exist, the financial viability of those roles, applicants’ qualifications/registration, the requirements of the job, and the worker’s intended purpose. The relevant criteria are found in the Immigration Rules for the Skilled Worker, Global Business Mobility and Scale-up routes, and also in the Sponsor Guidance that applies to all sponsored work routes.

This Checklist outlines which provisions in a lease and other relevant associated documentation should be carefully examined to ascertain whether a right of light subsists. A right of light is an easement granting a landowner the entitlement to receive natural light through an opening in a building on its land. The owner of the land encumbered by that right (the 'servient Building') must not impede or disturb it without first obtaining consent. For any proposed development, it is therefore essential to identify neighbouring properties that could be enjoying a right of light (the 'dominant Building'). For further information on rights of light, see the following Practice Notes:
