This category is for employees of multinational companies who are being transferred by their overseas employer to a UK branch of the same organisation. This can be on a long-term basis or for frequent short visits.
There are 4 sub-categories:
- Long-term staff – for established and skilled employees to be transferred to the UK branch of their organisation for more than 12 months to fill a post that cannot be filled by an individual from the resident workforce.
- Short-term staff – for established and skilled employees to be transferred to the UK branch of the organisation for 12 months or less to fill a post that cannot be filled by an individual from the resident workforce.
- Graduate trainee – allows transfer of recent graduate employees to a UK branch of the same organisation, as part of a graduate training programme which clearly defines progression towards a managerial or specialist role.
- Skills transfer – allows transfer of new graduate employees to a UK branch of the same organisation to learn the skills and knowledge required to perform their job overseas, or to impart their specialist skills or knowledge to the UK workforce.
