UK Intra-Company Transfer visa (Tier 2)

The UK intra-company transfer visa (Tier 2), replaced on 11 April 2022 by the Senior or Specialist Worker visa (Global Business Mobility), is available for skilled workers who want to move from a foreign company to a UK branch. In order to receive this type of visa, you will need a sponsorship certificate from your licensed sponsor. If you are interested in getting a UK intra-company transfer visa, our immigration solicitors in London are able to provide you with information and legal assistance. You can rely on the support of our UK immigration lawyer.

Conditions for the UK intra-company transfer visa

In order to receive this type of visa and to properly work in the UK, you can apply up to three months before your start date (our London immigration lawyer can help you). The types of UKintra-company transfer visas are the following:

• the skills transfer (closed in April 2017), for individuals who wish to obtain knowledge and experience;
• the short-term transfer (closed in April 2017);
• the graduate trainee, available for 12 months, for workers with a minimum of three months experience;
• the long-term transfer (now the Senior or Specialist Worker visa), available for up to five years in any six-year period (nine years for salaries of GBP 73,900 or more), for workers with at least 12 months of employment at a foreign company.

For a Tier 2 intra-company visa in the UK, it is necessary to pay certain fees, according to the type of permit you wish to obtain. The entire information can be offered by our UK immigration lawyer, besides legal assistance.

What you need to know about the UK intra-company transfer visa Tier 2 

It is good to know that an individual who receives the UK intra-company transfer visa can also do voluntary work, travel overseas, study, and bring the family, but he cannot obtain public funds. A candidate for a long-term transfer needs to be paid at least GBP 52,500 per year (or the going rate, if higher), and a Graduate Trainee must earn at least GBP 27,300 per year. To qualify for this type of visa you will also need to hold a valid certificate of sponsorship assigned by your licensed sponsor.
