1️⃣ Select a Business
To begin, choose the business you want to apply for a sponsor licence for.
If no businesses appear, or if all existing businesses already have connected licences, you’ll need to add a new one first.
Go to Settings > Businesses and add your business details.
2️⃣ Start the Application
Once a business is selected, you’ll see a draft application form. The form includes several sections that need to be completed before submission.
3️⃣ Complete Each Section
Each section contains:
Questions that must be answered, and
Document upload fields (optional, but strongly recommended).
💡 Uploading relevant documents at this stage helps strengthen your application and reduces the need for the Borderless team to request additional information later.
4️⃣ Add Supporting Documents (Optional)
Before submitting your application, you can upload any extra documents or arguments that may support your case. This could include business evidence, compliance documents, or other helpful materials.
5️⃣ Submit for Review
When all sections are complete:
Click Submit for Review to send your application to the Borderless team.
Our immigration team will review your submission and contact you if any further information is needed.
📊 Tracking Your Sponsor Licence Application
You can track the progress of your application at any time through the platform:
Go to Settings > Sponsor Licences
Here, you’ll see all new and existing sponsor licence applications

🏛️ Submitting to the Home Office
