Does Cisco sponsor visas?

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

CountryOfficial recordCisco entityEvidenceTagged open roles

IrelandIrish permit employerCisco Limited1 employment permits, this year and last37
United KingdomLicensed sponsorCisco International LimitedOn the Home Office register51

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