The Senior or Specialist Worker Visa is part of the Global Business Mobility visa program. It is a work visa that enables the holder to come to or stay in the UK and work for the UK branch of their overseas employer. This relatively new visa category has replaced the Intra-company Transfer visa, previously the Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) Long-term Staff visa. The visa intends to provide large multinational firms with the mechanism to quickly transfer staff to the UK branch to support their business operations and growth plans in the UK.
For the visa to be granted, a number of different criteria need to be met, including:
Applicants will need to meet this criteria and provide specific supporting documentation. If the application is successful, a visa can be granted for up to 5 years, enabling the UK branch to benefit from the skillset and knowledge of the transferred employee.
