Work in the UK for your overseas employer:
A Senior or Specialist Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job at your employer’s UK branch.
Are you looking to transfer to the UK while continuing to work for your current overseas employer? The Senior or Specialist Worker Visa under the Global Business Mobility route makes this possible. This visa is designed for professionals in senior or specialised roles who are essential to their organisation’s UK operations.
With this visa, you can seamlessly transition to the UK, contribute to key projects, and gain valuable international experience without changing employers. It also offers the flexibility to bring your dependents, ensuring a smooth relocation for your family. Additionally, this visa is a fantastic opportunity to expand your professional network and enhance your career in a global setting.
