Global Business Mobility routes allow overseas businesses to send eligible workers to the UK for specific temporary business assignments. These routes include Graduate Trainee, UK Expansion Worker, Service Supplier, Secondment Worker and Senior or Specialist Worker routes.
The correct route depends on the business purpose, the worker’s overseas employment, the UK assignment, salary, occupation code and sponsorship position.
Most Global Business Mobility applications require a sponsor licence and a Certificate of Sponsorship. The route must match the exact business assignment.
Global Business Mobility routes do not lead directly to UK settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain) and carry specific overseas employment tenure or UK expansion prerequisites depending on whether a Senior/Specialist Worker, Graduate Trainee, Expansion Worker, Service Supplier or Secondment Worker is sponsored.
We can identify the correct Global Business Mobility route, check sponsor and worker eligibility and prepare the application evidence.
We align parent-subsidiary links, inter-company assignment letters, service contracts and sponsor licence structures before Certificate of Sponsorship assignment and visa filing.
