When we use the term COS, we're referring to the Restricted Ceritifcate of Sponsorship (RCOS). A Tier 2 UK visa requires a valid certificate of sponsorship from an employer holding a valid sponsorship license. The perspective employer must request this license and, if granted, can offer a COS to a candidate via an online sponsor management system.
Under the Tier 2 general visa programme you will be responsible for paying the initial cost of the sponsorship, plus sponsorship arrangement charges and consultancy fees up front. The programme attracts sponsorship & consultancy fees upfront plus a monthly service cost on your payroll.

The Tier 2 General programme is typically the most suitable option for candidates with a good working experience through which they can find a suitable job in the UK, and your experience will also help our sponsors to find a job quickly for you.
The programme involves risks to a certain level; we strongly suggest you to check ‘Roles, Responsibilities & Risk’ section before applying.
The programme is usually the best option for candidates who have a wealth of experience, are married, and who plan to settle in the UK with their spouse, who will also take up work in the country.
Why?
Because your spouse is eligible to work anywhere in the UK and retain 100% of their take-home salary, you’ll be able to save a considerable amount of money over a five-year sponsorship period, making the programme a worthwhile investment.
For example...
If the pay grade is £450 per day, then your take home will be £3487 per month and the deduction will be £90 day (£1800 / Month)
