OTS Success In Sponsor Licence for Wholesale Suppliers of Subscription Drugs
Solicitor – Teni Shahiean
Background
Teni was instructed by a wholesale company which supplied subscription drugs to doctors and pharmacies who wanted to hire a non-EEA national and therefore required a UK Sponsor Licence.
How we helped
Teni took the time to meet with the client and discuss their Immigration requirements. She quickly established that there were no ‘red flags’ that may cause the Home Office to refuse to grant the Sponsor Licence.

- failure to file company accounts

- prior or ongoing investigations by the regulator responsible for their sector
