AI Immigration agent · Sponsor licence and right to work
An immigration agent that guards the sponsor licence.
A licence is rarely lost to one dramatic failure. It is lost to a follow-up check nobody booked or a change nobody reported. The agent tracks every sponsored worker and every dated document, and tells you what has to happen this week to stay compliant.
Supports your authorising officer, key contact and Level 1 users. Included in every plan.

What is an AI immigration agent?
An AI immigration agent, for an employer, is software that tracks sponsor licence and right to work duties: check dates, Certificates of Sponsorship, visa expiry and changes that must be reported to UKVI. It supports the people named on the licence and prepares their paperwork. It is not an immigration adviser and does not advise on visa applications.
The job description
What the immigration agent does.
Right to work
Records each check with its evidence and expiry, and books the follow-up check before time-limited permission runs out.
Sponsored workers
Tracks each Certificate of Sponsorship from assignment to end date, alongside visa and passport expiry.
Reportable changes
Spots a change in job, salary, hours, work location or absence that has to be reported, and counts down the 10 working day window.
Drift from the certificate
Compares what each sponsored worker is paid and rostered for against what their certificate says.
Drafts the report
Prepares the wording for the sponsor management system and the request to the worker, ready for an authorised person to submit.
Audit pack
Exports the record keeping an inspection asks for, by worker, with the document trail behind each check.
Support, not replacement
It works for your authorising officer. They keep the decision.
You approve
- Every report before your authorised user submits it
- Requests sent to a worker for documents
- The audit pack before it goes to UKVI
It will not
- Give immigration advice to you or to a worker
- Submit anything to UKVI on its own
- Decide whether someone has the right to work without a check on file

What is an AI immigration agent?+
An AI immigration agent, for an employer, is software that tracks sponsor licence and right to work duties: check dates, Certificates of Sponsorship, visa expiry and changes that must be reported to UKVI. It supports the people named on the licence and prepares their paperwork. It is not an immigration adviser and does not advise on visa applications.
Does the immigration agent give immigration advice?+
No. It tracks your duties as an employer and a sponsor, and prepares the paperwork. Advice on a visa route or an individual application has to come from a regulated adviser or a solicitor.
Can it submit reports to UKVI for us?+
It drafts them. Reports are made on the sponsor management system by your own authorised users, so the submission stays with a named person at your business.
We do not sponsor anyone. Is it still useful?+
Yes. Every employer has to carry out right to work checks. The agent keeps each check, its evidence and its follow-up date in one place.
