A UK Global Business Mobility – UK Expansion Worker Visa is for senior managers and specialist employees who wish to be assigned to the UK temporarily to undertake work related to the expansion of an overseas business in the UK. The UK Expansion Worker Visa route can only be used when the UK business has not yet started trading.  If the business is already trading in the UK, you may be eligible for a Global Business Mobility – Senior or Specialist Worker Visa instead.

In order to secure a UK Expansion Worker or UK Senior or Specialist Worker Visa, you will need to be sponsored to do a specific job, which meets certain skills and salary requirements, by an employer that has been granted a sponsor license by the Home Office. Applicants may be joined or accompanied by their partner and dependent children.

The Global Business Mobility – UK Expansion Worker Visa does not lead directly to settlement in the UK.  However, you may be able to switch into another relevant immigration route, which does lead to settlement. If you believe that you are eligible to apply under any of these routes, please feel free to contact us at hi@kb-law.co.uk, or Book an Appointment and we will be more than happy to legally assist you.
