Global Business Mobility

The Senior or Specialist Worker visa (Global Business Mobility) visa has replaced the Intra-Company Transfer Worker and is for those looking to be transferred to work for the same group of company or branch.

The Senior or Specialist Worker visas are for those who have worked for an overseas company and are now willing to work for the same company’s UK branch.

  • Personally meet the financial maintenance requirement unless the maintenance is certified by the employer.
  • Has a TB certificate if residing in a country where the TB certificate is required

  • 5 years in any 6-year period if you’re paid less than £73,900 a year
  • 9 years in any 10-year period if you’re paid £73,900 a year or more
