OverviewQuestionsVisa experiences

If Pesto Restaurants Ltd sponsored your visa

It is no longer on the Home Office register (removed 13 Feb 2026), so it cannot sponsor anyone.

What the rules say happens

  • The Home Office usually shortens the permission of the people it sponsored, so it ends 60 days after it tells them. It writes to each person.
  • If your permission already ends within those 60 days, your end date does not move.
  • In that time you can apply for a new visa with a different licensed sponsor, or on another route you qualify for.
  • Sponsor guidance part 3: when a licence is revoked (opens in a new tab)
  • Skilled Worker visa: if you change job or employer (opens in a new tab)
  • Health and Care Worker visa: if you change job or employer (opens in a new tab)

Your letter from the Home Office states your new end date. Use this to see how long that leaves.

Keep your dates in one place with the visa timeline (opens in a new tab), and get reminders before your end date.
