Yes, if you receive a job offer with sponsorship support in the UK, your employer must hold a valid Skilled Worker sponsor licence and provide you with a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS).

With the CoS, you can apply for a Skilled Worker visa. The process involves:
- Job offer from a licensed sponsor: Employer must be approved by the UK Home Office.
- Certificate of Sponsorship: Employer issues this document with your job details.
- Visa application: Apply online with your CoS, proof of English proficiency, maintenance funds, and other required documents.

Your job must meet the minimum salary threshold and other requirements, which are subject to change.
