Each country publishes different evidence. The UK and the Netherlands keep official sponsor registers, Ireland publishes past employment permit data, and Portugal and Spain publish vacancies and shortage lists instead. We label each result by the evidence behind it.
UK · Netherlands
The employer is on the government register today. It does not mean every job they post offers sponsorship.
Ireland
The employer received employment permits in past years. A useful signal, not a promise of a future permit.
Portugal
A public employment service vacancy listed as open to applicants from outside the EU.
Spain
The occupation appears on an official list, such as hard-to-fill occupations. This is not a job advert.
New vacancies from sponsor-listed employers and public job boards arrive every morning. Jobs older than 30 days are removed.

Only employers holding a valid UK sponsor licence can sponsor a Skilled Worker visa. SponsorPath lists about 128,000 of them, refreshed from the government’s public register, and shows their current job adverts.
Start with employers that appear on an official register (UK, Netherlands) or have past permit history (Ireland), then check that the role itself is eligible. SponsorPath combines both, and every job links to the original advert.
No. A register shows the employer can sponsor or has done so before. Each job and your own profile still need to meet the route’s rules.
Ireland’s Critical Skills and General Employment Permits are both employer-led and need a job offer. The occupation must also be eligible and meet the salary threshold.
It is an employer officially approved by the Dutch immigration authority to apply for residence permits such as the highly skilled migrant permit. SponsorPath lists about 13,000 of them.
No. Neither country publishes a sponsor register. For Portugal we show public vacancies, including those open to non-EU applicants. For Spain we show jobs in occupations on an official hard-to-fill list.
No new overseas care worker sponsorship has been possible since July 2025. SponsorPath does not show UK care worker roles as sponsorship opportunities.
Jobs refresh every morning and jobs older than 30 days are removed. Registers refresh weekly or monthly, depending on the source.
No. SponsorPath gives general information from official sources. Confirm with the official source or a qualified adviser.
No. We explain route fit and what to check. We do not have the outcome data to give a reliable percentage.
