Navigating the Secondment Worker Visa Requirements

Embarking on the path to securing a UK Global Business Mobility Visa as a secondment worker involves a series of crucial steps. Each requirement is an integral part of this process, and understanding these can significantly ease your visa application journey. Below, we have detailed the essential requirements to help you through this intricate process. However, please remember that each case is unique, and additional criteria may apply based on individual circumstances.

The role you intend to undertake must be considered as at or above the bachelor’s degree level (RQF 6).
The UK sponsor must be eligible to issue a CoS under the UK Secondment Worker route. They will need evidence of an investment or contract for goods or services with an overseas business worth at least £10 million per year and no less than £50 million. Essentially, if the duration of the contract is less than five years, it must be at least £50 million in value. The agreement must be valued at least £10 million per year if it is five years plus. If the contract has no express end date, it must be worth at least £50 million over the first five years. This is known as the ‘eligible contract requirement’.
You must have held £1,270 in savings for 28 days before the date of application, or an A-rated Home Office sponsor may certify that they will provide this on the CoS. Further funds must be held for each dependant family member applying.

FAQs

Secondment Worker visas are typically valid for up to 12 months or the duration stated on the Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) plus 14 days – whichever is longer.

If your Secondment Worker sponsorship continues, it is possible to apply for work visa extensions from within the UK for a maximum of 2 years

It is possible to apply to switch visa category from within the UK into this visa type, if you are not currently in the UK holding one of the following visa types:

  • Visitor visa
  • Short-Term Student visa
  • Parent of a Child visa
  • Seasonal Worker visa
  • Domestic Worker visa
  • Any Discretionary visa

 

Please however note that you may still need to meet the requirement to have worked for your employer outside of the UK for the required period, unless exempt. 

Unfortunately the Secondment Worker visa does not lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) / Settlement. 

Spouses or partners and children under the age of 18 may apply for visas to accompany you to the UK as your ‘dependants’.  Your spouse or partner should be permitted to work.
