What Is an Undefined Certificate of Sponsorship?
Undefined Certificates of Sponsorship are generally used where a Skilled Worker applicant is applying from within the UK or switching immigration categories inside the UK.
Sponsor licence holders receive an annual allocation of Undefined Certificates of Sponsorship. Where the allocation is insufficient, the sponsor may need to request additional Undefined CoS through the Sponsorship Management System.
UKVI may review the employer’s recruitment pattern, staffing structure, business activity, previous sponsorship history and compliance record before approving additional allocations.
Undefined CoS allocation requests should accurately explain the organisation’s recruitment needs and future sponsorship plans. Poorly prepared requests can lead to delays or additional Home Office scrutiny.
