Global Business Mobility
Expand your business across borders with our comprehensive global mobility solutions.
Understanding Global Business Mobility
The Global Business Mobility route encompasses several categories designed for specific business needs: Senior or Specialist Worker, Graduate Trainee, UK Expansion Worker, Service Supplier, and Secondment Worker. Each category serves different business scenarios, from establishing a UK presence to fulfilling service contracts.
Practical Applications
These routes are particularly valuable for international companies needing to move staff to the UK for specific projects or assignments. For example, a Senior Worker visa allows multinational companies to transfer senior staff for up to 5 years, while the Graduate Trainee route enables companies to bring promising graduates for structured training programmes lasting up to 12 months.
Important Considerations
It's crucial to understand that Global Business Mobility routes are temporary by design and typically don't lead to settlement (permanent residence). They're specifically structured for assignments with a defined end date, making them ideal for project-based work, knowledge transfer, or temporary leadership roles. While extensions are possible in many cases, these routes are best suited for businesses planning medium-term assignments rather than permanent transfers.
Strategic Planning
We help businesses navigate these categories, selecting the most appropriate route based on their specific needs and developing strategies for long-term talent mobility. This might include planning transitions to settlement-eligible routes like the Skilled Worker visa when permanent residence is a goal.
