I'm Syrian and I have a student residence permission to EU issued from Portugal.
I got a job offer for 6 months in London.
The company asked me to have a sponsor. I do have someone in the UK to sponsor me, but I don't know how the process works.
I was checking the types of visas and I found this page https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas
I don't know to which one I have to apply, or if I need something else to prof that I have a sponsor
Could you help please?
I tried to check myself.
I need visa either Tier 2 or Tier 5, as described here http://www.workpermit.com/uk/uk-immigration-tier-system.htm
The sponsor must be a licensed sponsor employer, which can be found here
