Manager Laurence Keir-Thomas and Senior Paralegal Steve McCaig authored a post published by GamesIndustry.biz, a market-leading website and community for news and information about the global video games industry.
In the post, Laurence and Steve outlined how the thriving games industry can navigate the UK immigration system's significant changes, including how to determine if a candidate is already eligible to work in the UK, if and when a sponsor license is needed and how to obtain one, who can participate as a sponsor, compliance requirements and more.
"The UK’s immigration system has undergone huge changes and remains challenging to navigate. The rules are complex and obtaining legal advice is recommended before sponsoring work visas, but we hope that this short guide should set you in the right direction," noted the authors.
