GLOBAL BUSINESS MOBILITY ROUTES
The UK offers five different Global Business Mobility routes that help international businesses send their employees to work temporarily in the UK. These include options for senior managers and specialists (Senior or Specialist Worker), graduate trainees on management training programs (Graduate Trainee), employees helping to establish new UK business branches (UK Expansion Worker), overseas service providers working under international trade agreements (Service Supplier), and workers on temporary secondment for high-value projects (Secondment Worker).
These routes allow workers to bring their family members to the UK, but it's important to note that they are all temporary pathways and cannot lead to permanent settlement in the UK. These routes are specifically designed to facilitate international business operations and temporary work assignments rather than permanent migration.
For senior managers or specialist employees (already employed by an overseas business) coming to the UK to set up a branch or subsidiary.
For senior or specialist workers (already employed by an overseas business) coming to an established UK branch or subsidiary for a temporary work assignment.
For overseas workers on a graduate training course (leading to a senior management or specialist worker position) coming to the UK for a work placement.
For overseas contractual service suppliers or self-employed professionals based overseas coming to the UK for an assignment covered by a valid UK international trade agreement.
For overseas workers who are seconded to the UK as part of a high-value contract or investment by their employer.
