Who can apply for a UK Expansion Worker visa?

The Global Business Mobility – UK Expansion Worker Visa is for senior managers and specialist employees who wish to be assigned to the UK to set up a branch of an overseas business that has not started trading in the UK yet.

If the business is already trading it is necessary to apply for a Senior or Specialist Worker visa instead.

To be eligible, the applicant must have worked for their employer outside of the UK for a specified time period unless an exception applies. The applicant must have been issued with a valid certificate of sponsorship from their employer to do a job on the list of eligible occupations. This must meet certain skill and salary requirements.

The applicant must also satisfy strict financial and English language requirements.

Persons with UK Expansion Worker visas may also apply for their partners and children to join them in the UK.

The Home Office allows those in this Immigration category extend their leave but this is not a route to settlement. However, applicants may be able to switch into another route which does lead to settlement.
