Recruitment and Support of New Scots into Scottish Social Care

UKVI will normally wait about two calendar months, after revoking the sponsor’s licence, before notifying each sponsored worker.  Therefore, the 60-day period will start from the date on the Home Office (UKVI) curtailment letter informing you that your visa is being cancelled, not from the date your sponsor loses their licence. 
You can continue to work, as per the conditions attached to your visa, until the 60-day period has expired. 

What if I do not find another sponsor?

If you remain in the UK beyond the 60-days, without finding a new sponsor, or making an application on an alternative route that you may be qualified for, then you risk being detained and removed from the UK, with any visa application made within the next 10 years being unlikely to be approved. 

Who can assist with finding a new sponsor?

You could approach a sponsor-matching agency, some of whom specialise in helping displaced workers find a new sponsor.  You can search online to find one, or approach one of those listed below, but please be aware that we are not recommending or endorsing their activities, you need to be confident that what they are offering meets your own, personal requirements:
