Intra-Company Transfer Visa Services
Introduction
In today’s global economy, businesses frequently need to relocate skilled employees across borders. The Intra-Company Transfer Visa is a key tool for companies seeking to transfer employees to their UK branches. Whether you are an HR professional managing global mobility or a business leader seeking to enhance your UK workforce, understanding this visa’s intricacies is crucial. Our firm provides comprehensive legal guidance on the Intra-Company Transfer Visa, ensuring your employees can transition smoothly and compliantly.
Understanding the Intra-Company Transfer Visa
The Intra-Company Transfer Visa is designed for multinational companies that need to transfer employees from an overseas office to a UK branch. This visa category is divided into two main types: the Senior or Specialist Worker Visa, which is for long-term transfers, and the Graduate Trainee Visa, for employees on structured graduate training programs.
Key Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the Intra-Company Transfer Visa, the following criteria must be met:
- Employment Relationship: The employee must be currently employed by the overseas branch and have worked for the company for at least 12 months (or 3 months for Graduate Trainee Visa applicants).
- Salary Threshold: The employee’s salary must meet the minimum threshold, which varies depending on the visa type and role. For Senior or Specialist Workers, this is typically £41,500 per year.
- Role Requirement: The role in the UK must be related to the employee’s work at the overseas branch and must be on the list of eligible occupations.
