To be eligible to apply, it is a requirement that candidates can demonstrate the assured ongoing right to work, without the need for sponsorship now or in the future, thus must be already eligible to work in the UK, or able to apply for a visa granting permission to work in the UK (e.g. dependent visas, ancestry etc.) that do not require future sponsorship.
