About ImmigrationGPT

A searchable copy of the Home Office sponsor register, with the rules from GOV.UK written in plain English and people who have been through it.

It started in 2020 as a spreadsheet of employers that could sponsor a visa. It is now a public copy of the whole register, updated twice a day.

Why ImmigrationGPT exists

The rules are public, but they are spread over many GOV.UK pages, policy documents and the sponsor register.

They change often, and a small change in wording can change who qualifies.

ImmigrationGPT:

  • Puts the sponsor register and the rules in one place
  • Links each answer to the official source it uses
  • Explains sponsorship and visa requirements in plain English

It gives information about the rules, not advice on your own case.

How it started

2020

A list of licensed sponsors

It began as a spreadsheet of every UK employer licensed to sponsor visas, and research into how sponsorship works in practice.

2021

Other people start to use it

As the list grew, more people used it. Many of them found the sponsorship and eligibility rules hard to follow, so the list became a public tool.

2022

Job adverts

We tried job-site integrations and job listings that show sponsorship. Finding adverts was not the hard part for most people. Understanding the rules was.

2023 to 2024

The rules

The work moved to keeping up with changes to the rules and guidance, with each fact linked to its source.

2025

AI answers

AI tools made it possible to answer UK immigration questions from GOV.UK pages and to track changes to the rules and the sponsor register.

How it is paid for

ImmigrationGPT is self-funded and independently run.

Adverts, Plus, answer packs, employer checks and CV reports pay for it. The sponsor register, company pages, jobs and guides are free to use.

Where the information comes from

ImmigrationGPT relies on:

GOV.UK guidance
UK sponsor registers
Official policy documents

Each answer links to the source it uses, so you can check it.

Search the sponsor register

Search every licensed sponsor on the Home Office register, or ask a question about the rules. Answers link to the GOV.UK pages they use.
