What do our Sponsor Licence clients say about White Rose Visas?

I highly recommend White Rose Visas. We were applying for our sponsorship license leading up to Brexit and during Covid-19. Despite the uncertainty and WFH changes, Tracey who managed our account was always responsive and went above and beyond throughout the entire process.

Damoy Robertson (The Vegan Review), Sponsor License

It has been so delightful working with you. I can't thank you enough for all the effort you made to help us get this certificate, which probably wouldn't have happened without you.

Yuhuang Xi (Nationwide Health Care), Sponsor Licence

Excellent service provided throughout the entire process. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Jenny Stickland (Sennep Ltd), Sponsor Licence

Spiritan is an international religious charitable organization that has over 4,000 religious missionaries all over the world. Getting religious visas for them can be very complicated and on many occasions we had their visas refused: until three years ago we engaged the services of White Rose Visas to support us with the applications. White Rose Visas have successfully helped us with an average of 15 applications per year. The staff are highly professional in their work, they handle the anxiety that goes with seeking a visa to the UK with ease; their guidance, hard work and expertise makes the process easy and stress free for our applicants.

Rev. Kenneth Okoli C.S.Sp. (Provincial – Spiritan UK), Sponsor Licence

Your details were given to me by _ and I have constantly kept them up to date and advised them about the excellent service that White Rose has offered. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company in the future and have made all those involved aware of this! Many thanks once again, for making a daunting task so stress free and simple.

Mike Gabriel (Lakedale Power Tools), Sponsor Licence

We have been beyond impressed with White Rose Visas' high professional standards and business integrity; a massive thank you to Kim and the team for all your guidance, support and help with our employer sponsorship license application, which was just approved by the Home Office! A special thanks to Tracey, who was assigned to support our business during the process. Tracey's professional conduct, wealth of knowledge and expertise, attention to details, and constant support make the process seamless and delightful. Even more impressive is all along Tracey treats everyone at our business with such level of care, kindness and humility that is inspiring and most appreciated. We are so pleased that we have chosen White Rose Visas initially by word of mouth and wish to recommend White Rose Visas, 'the cream of the crop' UK immigration consultancy, to anyone seeking immigration advice with personal, family or business needs.

In such a situation, the most important thing is to thoroughly check in advance of the visit whether your company's systems will meet Home Office criteria. We also provide you with our written guide to compliance visits, and offer individual coaching on questions that will be asked during the visit.
