Corporate immigration allows businesses to bring skilled workers from abroad to meet specific employment needs in the UK. Various visa options cater to different situations, including the establishment of a UK presence and hiring highly skilled international workers. Below is an overview of key visa options for corporate immigration:

  • Sole Representative Visa – For a foreign company wishing to establish its first commercial presence in the UK by sending a senior employee.
  • Tier 2 Sponsor Licence – Allows UK organisations to employ non-EEA nationals in skilled jobs by obtaining authorisation from the UK immigration authorities.
  • Tier 5 Sponsor Licence – For employing short-term workers from outside the EEA in various sectors, requiring specific endorsements.
  • Tier 2 (General) Visa – For highly skilled migrants with a job offer from a UK employer holding a Tier 2 (General) sponsor licence.

There are additional visa options you can explore, so if you do not see a viable option for you above, please talk to one of our solicitors and we will help you find the best route for you.
