The Immigration Act 2016 requires any person living in the UK to prove they have a right to work in the UK at the time of applying for a Premises Licence (as an individual or as a partnership) where alcohol and/or late night refreshment is requested. All applicants are required to provide proof of their right to work as part of the application process. Information on the types of documents that are acceptable is available on gov.uk. Clear copies of these documents will be sufficient. It is now also possible to use the Home Office online right to work check service on GOV.UK's website.
Where an applicant has a restricted right to work in the UK, the Premises Licence will lapse when the right to work in the UK expires. In the case of a partnership, the premises licence will lapse on the date that the first party's right to work expires. The remaining individual will be permitted to re-instate the licence by way of a transfer application.
