# Can we hire people who need a visa in the UK?

Every employee needs a right to work check before they start, and employing someone without the right to work can cost up to £60,000 per worker. Most foreign hires use the Skilled Worker route, which needs a sponsor licence and the Immigration Skills Charge (from £480 for the first 12 months for small sponsors). Talk to us about the role and we will tell you what is possible.
