Intra-Company Transfer Visa
This visa allows International Companies to relocate their employees from their overseas operations to a UK subdivision for training purposes or to fill a particular vacancy that cannot be filled by a settled person.
There are currently 2 sub-categories for Tier 2 Intra Company Transfer Visa:
- The Graduate Trainee Category
This category is for fresh international graduates’ employees who are to be relocated as part of a systematic graduate program, that specifically outlines progression in the direction of a managerial or specialist position.
It is required that the candidates are recent graduates with at least 3 months’ preparation in a foreign division of the transnational.
- The Long Term Staff category
This category is for skilled workers who are to be relocated for a period between 12 months and 5 years with the purpose of filling a position that cannot be filled regionally. It is required that the candidate must have been employed at the foreign division of the multinational for at least twelve months, unless they’re going to pay you £73,900 or more a year to work in the UK.
