Does AstraZeneca sponsor visas?

AstraZeneca appears on the official sponsor lists of four countries. These are the governments' own records, checked against the legal entity that hires there.

Country	Official record	AstraZeneca entity	Evidence	Tagged open roles
United States	H-1B sponsor	AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP	135 H-1B filings, last 4 quarters	93
Ireland	Irish permit employer	AstraZeneca Ireland Limited	1 employment permits, this year and last	15
United Kingdom	Licensed sponsor	AstraZeneca UK Limited	On the Home Office register	29
Netherlands	Recognised sponsor	AstraZeneca B.V.	On the IND public register	3

What this does and doesn't mean. Being on a list shows AstraZeneca has sponsored work visas in that country. It doesn't promise a given role will, so ask the recruiter before you apply.
