UK Expansion Worker Visa

What is the UK Expansion Worker Visa?

The UK Expansion Worker Visa allows businesses from outside the UK to send employees to establish a branch or subsidiary in the UK under the Global Business Mobility framework. This visa provides a streamlined pathway to enter the UK market and build your company’s international presence.

Common Challenges Applicants Face

  • Sponsorship Requirements: Employers need to secure a sponsor licence and meet UKVI’s stringent standards.
  • Role Relevance: Demonstrating that the employee’s role is integral to the UK expansion.
  • Documentation Accuracy: Incomplete or inconsistent documents can lead to delays or refusals.
  • Time Sensitivity: Preparing applications within tight business timelines can be overwhelming.
