Agriculture is an essential industry that contributes significantly to the UK economy, but staff shortages in recent years have been a great cause for concern. If you own or manage a farm, forest or fishery in the UK, you may be looking to recruit overseas workers to fill the gaps in your workforce. At Lexus Law, we provide bespoke immigration advice to agricultural organisations, helping with everything from sponsor licence applications to securing business visas for high-net-worth individuals.
How can Lexus Law help?
- We can advise on whether you need a sponsor licence for Skilled Workers, Seasonal Workers, or another visa category, and we will assist with every step of the application process.
- We provide guidance in how to maintain sponsor licence compliance to avoid civil penalties, including how to conduct thorough Right to Work checks, and how to prepare your teams for UKVI visits.
- For individuals we can advise on the best approach for your unique circumstances, whether that is joining an existing agricultural organisation as a Skilled Worker, or applying for ILR/settlement in the UK.
- We can also provide support and/or representation in the event of sponsor licence suspensions, visa refusals, appeals, and judicial reviews.
