visa sponsor

Work permit guarantor

A visa sponsor is an employer, institution, or individual who formally supports a foreign national's application to live or work in a country.

The sponsor assumes legal and sometimes financial responsibility, vouching that the applicant meets requirements and will comply with visa terms: My company agreed to be my visa sponsor for the H-1B.

Finding a visa sponsor is often the main hurdle for people seeking work authorization abroad.
