Do Amazon, Deloitte and Accenture Sponsor Indian Applicants in the UK?

Amazon, Deloitte and Accenture are all licensed UK visa sponsors. This guide shows what that means for Indian applicants, which roles are likely to qualify, the salary rules, and how to apply.

The Short Answer

Yes. Amazon UK Services Ltd, Deloitte LLP and Accenture (UK) Limited are all on the UK Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors with an A rating on the Skilled Worker route, so each one can legally sponsor Indian applicants. A licence does not mean every role is open to sponsorship, so confirm for the specific job, and make sure your salary and occupation code meet the Skilled Worker rules.

Each company's status below comes from Hiredge's own copy of the Home Office register, which we check every working day.

Before you apply, verify the employer

Check any employer mentioned in this guide against the Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors, then tailor your CV and cover letter for them with Application Assistant.

Why This Question Matters

Amazon, Deloitte and Accenture are three of the most searched employers among Indian professionals looking at the UK. They are large, well known, and hire across technology, consulting and corporate roles. But a famous name is not proof of sponsorship. Before you spend weeks on applications and interviews, it is worth knowing exactly where each company stands.

Does Amazon UK Sponsor Indian Applicants?

Amazon UK Services Ltd (London) is on the Home Office register with an A rating on the Skilled Worker route. It is also licensed for the Global Business Mobility Senior or Specialist Worker route. Check Amazon on the Sponsor Checker.

Amazon's sponsored roles are most likely to be in corporate and technology functions, such as software engineering, cloud, data, finance and operations management, where salaries are more likely to meet the Skilled Worker rules.

Does Deloitte UK Sponsor Indian Applicants?

Deloitte LLP (London) is on the Home Office register with an A rating on the Skilled Worker route. It is also licensed for the Global Business Mobility Senior or Specialist Worker route. Check Deloitte on the Sponsor Checker.

Deloitte hires across consulting, technology, audit, tax and risk advisory. Technology, cyber security and data roles are often the best fit for IT professionals.

Does Accenture UK Sponsor Indian Applicants?

Accenture recruits technology consultants, software engineers, cloud and data specialists. If you already work for Accenture in India, ask about internal moves to UK projects.

Salary Rules for Sponsored Roles

These companies have to meet the same visa rules as any other sponsor. GOV.UK says you usually need to be paid the higher of £41,700 a year or the going rate for your occupation code. For example, the going rate for programmers and software developers (code 2134) is £54,700 in the Appendix Skilled Occupations.

If you are under 26, or on (or recently held) a Student or Graduate visa, you can be paid 70% of the going rate with a minimum of £33,400 a year. See when you can be paid less, or read our guide to UK salary thresholds in rupees.

How to Apply

Step 1: Confirm Sponsor Status

Check the company on the Sponsor Checker before you apply. Licences can change, and you should apply to the exact licensed organisation.

Step 2: Search Each Company's Official Careers Site

Apply only through the company's own careers site or a verified job listing. Read each advert carefully. If it says you must already have the right to work in the UK, that role is probably not open to sponsorship.

Step 3: Set Up a Sponsored Job Alert

Use Hiredge job alerts with the visa sponsorship filter on, so new roles from licensed sponsors reach you as soon as they are posted. You can also browse UK visa sponsorship jobs.

Step 4: Tailor Your Application

Large employers screen thousands of applications. Use the Application Assistant to tailor your CV and cover letter to the job description, using the same language the employer uses.

Step 5: Confirm Sponsorship Before You Resign

Before you leave your current job, make sure you have a written offer, the occupation code, and confirmation that the company will assign you a Certificate of Sponsorship.

Watch Out for Fake Offers Using These Names

Because these companies are so well known, scammers often use their names in fake job offers. None of them will ask you to pay for a job or a Certificate of Sponsorship. If you receive an offer by WhatsApp, from a free email address, or with a request for money, read how to spot a fake UK job offer before you reply.
