Tier 2 sponsorship & Umbrella companies / contracting illegally

Post by shoebyunus » Sun Jul 31, 2016 11:07 pm

Hi There,

M sister is currently in India working for a top It company. I am looking for a sponsor for her to apply for Tier 2 visa in UK.

Can somebody help me in suggesting any tier 2 sponsor company or umbrella company ?

Thanks

You cannot contract on T2 visa, either own Ltd or Umbrella, it's illegal.
