The UK education sector faces complex immigration requirements for international students and staff. Navigating these regulations can be challenging, especially as compliance standards become increasingly stringent. Immtell provides practical immigration and compliance support to help educational institutions uphold their Student Sponsor and Skilled Worker Sponsor duties, reduce compliance risks, and focus on delivering a top-quality education experience.
Whether obtaining student visas, managing sponsor licence obligations, or conducting thorough compliance audits, Immtell’s expertise and solutions support universities, colleges, and other educational organisations.

Sponsor Licence Compliance – Navigating Strict Requirements
Educational institutions operating under the Student Sponsor and Skilled Worker Sponsor licences must adhere to strict Home Office requirements to retain their ability to sponsor international students and staff. Immtell’s expertise in sponsor licence compliance ensures that your organisation meets these standards, helping to safeguard your sponsor status.
- Student Sponsor Duties: With complex reporting and record-keeping obligations, maintaining compliance as a Student Sponsor requires rigorous oversight. Immtell helps institutions fulfil these duties accurately and efficiently, reducing the risk of non-compliance that could jeopardise their sponsor licence.
- Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence Management: Immtell assists with managing Skilled Worker Sponsor obligations, such as tracking work permissions and meeting the legal requirements for foreign hires. Our support ensures educational institutions retain skilled international staff without facing compliance issues.
Proactive Compliance Solutions to Minimise Risk
Given the strict Home Office standards, compliance risks can impact a sponsor licence and, by extension, the institution’s ability to attract international students and staff. Immtell offers proactive compliance solutions tailored for the education sector, helping institutions identify and address potential risks.
