Is "the right to work" same as "work permit"?

"Do you offer sponsorship if I do not have the relevant right to work in the UK?

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer sponsorship. You need the right to work in the UK to be able to apply to the programme."
In that Q&A did the company mean they don't offer work permit sponsorship?

Hi I think this can only be answered fully by someone with professional knowledge of UK law in this area (I don't have that). But in a very general way ... Some people are given permission to live and work in the UK just on the basis of skills and qualifications they already have.

  • On the other hand, a person may have some skills and in addition apply to a company for sponsorship.
  • If the company officially confirms that they wish to sponsor the person, that will help with the application to enter and stay in the country As a layperson, I believe the company is saying: we cannot help you with that particular kind of sponsorship, where it is legally involved with your application to enter the UK to work But, as said, if you are looking for legal advice on the question, you may wish to follow it up with others Dave
