UK Expansion Worker visa (Global Business Mobility)
A UK Expansion Worker visa allows you to come to the UK to set up a branch of an overseas
business that has not started trading in the UK yet. You must already work for the overseas
business as either a senior manager or specialist employee. To be eligible for a UK Expansion
Worker visa you need to have a valid certificate of sponsorship from your employer, have
worked for your employer outside the UK, do a job that’s on the list of eligible occupations,
be paid the minimum eligible salary required for your job. You must have worked for your
employer outside of the UK for at least 12 months unless you’re either earning over £73,900
or a Japanese national doing work for a Japanese company that is expanding to the UK. You
must be paid at least £42,400 per year or the ‘going rate’ for your job – whichever is higher.
