What Is a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS)?
A Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is an electronic document containing your personal details and information about the job you’ve been offered.
If you’re a doctor requiring visa sponsorship to work in the UK and have received a job offer from a UK hospital, the hospital must apply for a CoS from the Home Office.
Once granted, the hospital will assign the CoS to you, providing a unique CoS number.
You cannot submit your visa application without this number, and it can only be used once.
What Happens Once I Have a CoS?
After receiving your CoS number from the hospital, you can begin your visa application.
It’s essential to submit your visa application within three months of receiving your CoS.
