UK Visa Sponsors CLI Checker

This Command Line Interface (CLI) tool is crafted to fetch the updated list of organisations authorised with a visa license from the UK government's official platform. For direct access, see the Register of Licensed Sponsors.

Prerequisites

  • Go >= 1.21 (to run the binary)
  • Make (Optional)

Installation

Using HomeBrew

You can use brew to install and use this CLI command.

First tap the repository:

brew tap renatoaraujo/homebrew-renatoaraujo

Then update and install, using:

brew update && brew install uk-visa-sponsors

Now have some fun just running:

uk-visa-sponsors find -c [company-name]

From the source

Using Makefile

Running the CLI tool is a breeze. Just punch in the following command in your terminal:

make find [company-name]

Binary (requires Go installed in the machine)

Build the binary, using:

go build -o uk-visa-sponsors

Run the binary:

./uk-visa-sponsors find -c [company-name]

You might need to update the permissions chmod +x ./uk-visa-sponsors

Motivation

While navigating through job listings in the UK, I stumbled upon numerous opportunities, but many were ambiguous about visa sponsorship. This tool was birthed to alleviate such uncertainties, allowing users to promptly determine if a company is an accredited visa license holder.

Note: Though this CLI offers a handy way to confirm a company's visa license status, it's always a good idea to directly refer to the UK government website. Some users might find this approach more straightforward and direct. Ensure you're always referencing the most current and precise source when it's pivotal.

Additional options

  • -d, --datasource: string containing an extra datasource, for example an old version of the CSV or a sanitised one;
  • -h, --help: To get help with the command
