The processing time for a sponsorship licence in the UK typically depends on the type of service you choose:

1. Standard Processing: The Home Office usually processes standard sponsor licence applications within 8 weeks. However, in some cases, particularly during busy periods or if the application is more complex, it could take up to 12 weeks.
2. Priority Service: If you're in need of a faster decision, the Home Office offers a priority service for an additional fee. This service aims to process your application within 10 working days. It’s important to note that this service is limited in availability, so it’s best to apply early.
