Many Nigerians in the UK are exploring the Self-Sponsorship route as an alternative to traditional work visas. While this can be a game-changer for securing your UK residency, one small mistake could cost you thousands and lead to rejection. 🚫
Why Pay for a Healthcare CoS When Self-Sponsorship Is an Option?
Some people spend huge amounts—sometimes up to £10,000+—to buy a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) for healthcare jobs, even when the annual salary is less than £30,000! 🤦🏾♂️ Instead of wasting money, you can legally sponsor yourself and be in control of your immigration status.
How Does Self-Sponsorship Work?
With self-sponsorship, you set up a business, apply for a Sponsor Licence, and issue a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to yourself. However, this process is not as simple as it sounds. To succeed, you must:
✅ Choose a job role that is on the UK Home Office’s Skilled Occupation List
✅ Ensure the salary meets the minimum threshold for that role
The Common Mistake That Leads to Rejection! 🚨
Many applicants select the wrong job role or incorrect job code, leading to rejection of their Sponsor Licence application.
Example:
❌ If your business involves financial consulting, but you apply under tax consultant, you may fail to meet the correct eligibility criteria, putting your entire application at risk!
Key Takeaways 📝
🔹 Stop paying huge amounts for healthcare CoS when self-sponsorship is a smarter alternative!
🔹 Selecting the correct job role and salary is crucial for success.
🔹 Avoid unnecessary rejections by doing proper research or seeking professional guidance.
