Compliance inspections may now be completed digitally as part of sponsor compliance checks, in addition to or instead of on-site visits from a Home Office compliance officer. The documentary evidence requirements will be the same whether the inspection is done digitally or in person. All other aspects and intentions of the compliance inspection, as set out in the Sponsor Guidance, remain the same.
Online inspections involve verifying a business’s trading presence digitally and conducting remote video interviews with sponsor license holders or sponsored workers. Remote interviews may include the presentation of evidence before, during, or after the interview, in the same way as in-person interviews would.
