Global Business Mobility Visa
The Global Business Mobility Visa is designed for overseas businesses that need to establish or expand their presence in the United Kingdom. It allows senior managers, specialist employees, and graduate trainees to come to the UK to support a UK-based branch or linked business. This route replaces several older visa categories and is aimed at organisations that operate across borders and require a lawful and structured way to transfer key staff.
This visa is suitable for companies that are opening a new UK office, expanding an existing operation, or transferring skilled workers to meet business needs. Applicants must be sponsored by a UK entity that holds a valid sponsor licence and can demonstrate a genuine business link with the overseas employer. Each sub-category within the Global Business Mobility route has specific requirements relating to role, salary level, and length of prior employment with the overseas business.
Our solicitors provide end-to-end legal support for both businesses and individual applicants. We advise on the correct visa category, assess eligibility, and ensure that all Home Office requirements are met. For employers, we assist with sponsor licence applications, compliance duties, and ongoing sponsorship obligations. For individuals, we prepare and submit accurate visa applications, reducing the risk of delay or refusal.
We understand that business immigration decisions often carry commercial urgency. Our approach is practical and legally sound, ensuring that applications are prepared in line with current UK immigration rules and policy guidance. By working closely with you, we help your business move key personnel to the UK lawfully and efficiently, allowing you to focus on growth and operations with confidence
Different Global Mobility Visa routes
The Global Business Mobility Visa has a number of routes, each created for a different business purpose. These routes allow overseas companies to move staff to the UK in a lawful way, depending on whether the worker is senior, in training, helping to set up a new UK office, providing services under a trade agreement, or joining a UK business through a secondment.
Each route has its own conditions and requires sponsorship by a licensed UK organisation. Choosing the correct route is important, as it affects eligibility, length of stay, and future options in the UK. Our solicitors guide you to the right category and ensure your application meets current UK immigration rules.
