UK Expansion Worker Visa: Eligibility And Requirements

1. Overview of the UK Expansion Worker Visa Route

The Global Business Mobility (GBM) routes are immigration routes where overseas businesses send their workers to undertake a temporary assignment in the UK. The UK Expansion Worker Visa is for employees who hold the positions of a senior manager or specialist employee who are coming to the UK to undertake work related to the business's expansion to the UK. This is a sponsored role where the company has a UK Expansion Worker sponsor licence and the UK business has not yet started trading.

This route allows the worker to be accompanied by their partner and dependent children if the requirements are met.

The other GBM routes are Senior or Specialist Worker, Graduate Trainee, Service Supplier and Secondment Worker.
