What is the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)?

To apply for a Tier 2 Skilled worker visa, you will first need to gain a Certificate of Sponsorship from your future employer. The job role and the rate of pay will determine the certificate that you need to process your visa application.

There are two types of Certificate of Sponsorship:
1. The restricted COS and
2. The unrestricted COS.

Certificate of Sponsorship available under the Tier 2 Skilled worker visa (General) visa is limited in number on an annual basis. This limitation is applicable to individuals who seek entry clearance under the Tier 2 Skilled worker visa (General) Category, as well as individuals who make applications to switch as a dependent of a Tier 4 (General) student into the Tier 2 Skilled worker visa (General) category from within the UK.

These are referred to as Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship.
Individuals who seek entry into the UK tend to take up vacant positions with a £150,000 salary or more, whilst other applications within the UK (apart from the Tier 4 dependants who intend to switch) are not influenced by the limit. In this circumstance, the Certificate of Sponsorship is referred to as unrestricted and can be assigned by the sponsors without initially making an application for authorisation.
