What our Dubai and Lisbon teams do with you on your UK Expansion Worker visa (Global Business Mobility) application.
It lets a senior manager or specialist employee of an overseas business come to the UK to set up the business's first UK branch. If the business is already trading in the UK, the Senior or Specialist Worker visa is the route instead.
A valid certificate of sponsorship from your employer, at least 12 months' work for the employer outside the UK (unless you earn over £73,900), a job on the list of eligible occupations, and a salary of at least £52,500 a year or the going rate for the job, whichever is higher.
Yes. Your employer is your sponsor and issues your certificate of sponsorship. If it is not yet an approved sponsor, it can apply for a licence if it is eligible. You must apply for your visa within 3 months of receiving the certificate.
Up to 12 months at first (or the period on your certificate of sponsorship plus 14 days, if shorter). You can extend by 12 months, up to a maximum of 2 years in total.
Yes. Your partner and children can apply to join you as your dependants if they are eligible.
