What happens if my sponsor withdraws support under a Health and Care Worker visa, and how quickly do I need to take action?

29.01.2026 12:22:01 If your sponsor withdraws support while you are on a Health and Care Worker visa, you will lose your visa status and must take action promptly. Typically, you may have a short period (usually 60 days) to find a new sponsor or apply for a different visa. It is crucial to act quickly to avoid becoming an overstayer, which can have serious implications for your immigration status in the UK. Seeking legal advice as soon as possible is advisable to explore your options and understand the next steps.

29.01.2026 12:22:05 From a legal perspective under UK immigration rules, if your sponsor withdraws support for your Health and Care Worker visa (which falls under the Skilled Worker route), the Home Office will typically be notified by the sponsor. This can lead to the curtailment (shortening) of your visa. You will usually receive a notice from the Home Office informing you of this, and your leave to remain may be reduced to 60 days from the date of the decision or the date your sponsorship ended, whichever is later. During this period, you must either find a new licensed sponsor and apply for a new visa, switch to another immigration route if eligible, or leave the UK. It is crucial to act quickly—ideally as soon as you become aware of the withdrawal—to avoid overstaying, which could affect future applications. Note that exact circumstances can vary, so consulting a qualified immigration lawyer is recommended for personalized advice.

29.01.2026 12:34:36 If your sponsor withdraws support under a Health and Care Worker visa, the Home Office will normally curtail your visa. You will receive a formal curtailment notice confirming that your permission to stay has been shortened, usually giving you 60 days (or until your visa expiry date, whichever is sooner) to take action. During this period, you must either secure a new licensed sponsor and submit a fresh visa application, switch to another eligible visa category if permitted, or leave the UK. You cannot continue working for the former sponsor once sponsorship ends. Acting quickly is crucial, as missing deadlines can result in overstaying and serious consequences for future immigration applications. A lawyer can help assess whether a sponsor change is realistic and ensure your next step is taken lawfully and on time.

29.01.2026 12:37:59 When a Health and Care Worker visa sponsor withdraws sponsorship, your immigration status becomes vulnerable almost immediately. The sponsor must notify the Home Office, after which your visa is typically curtailed. In most cases, the Home Office allows a grace period of up to 60 days to regularise your status. Within this time, you may find a new employer with a valid sponsor licence and apply for a new Health and Care Worker or Skilled Worker visa, or leave the UK before the deadline. You cannot legally work while unsponsored. Delays or inaction can lead to overstaying, which may negatively affect future UK visa applications. An immigration lawyer can guide you through sponsor replacement options, timelines, and compliance to protect your immigration record.
