Professional consultancy for the UK Expansion Worker route, helping eligible overseas businesses understand sponsor-licence, worker-eligibility, documentation and application requirements.
UK Expansion Worker Visa Consultancy
The UK Expansion Worker route is part of Global Business Mobility and is intended for eligible overseas businesses establishing their first UK trading presence through eligible sponsored workers.
Eligible workers may be sponsored to undertake qualifying roles connected with establishing the overseas business in the UK. The worker must meet the route requirements, including a valid Certificate of Sponsorship, eligible role, salary requirements and any applicable overseas-employment requirement.

Sponsor-licence and visa decisions are made by UK Visas and Immigration and cannot be guaranteed.

This visa allows overseas businesses to send employees to the UK to establish and manage operations.
The visa application is made by an eligible worker of an overseas business that is expanding to the UK and holds, or is eligible to hold, the appropriate sponsor licence. The individual worker must also meet the route-specific eligibility requirements.
The overseas business normally needs the appropriate UK Expansion Worker sponsor licence before it can sponsor an eligible worker. This route has specific sponsor rules, including the UK-footprint requirements and the rule that the business must not already have an active UK trading presence when applying under this route.
The route is intended for eligible overseas businesses establishing their first UK trading presence. It is not a general route for an overseas business that already has an active UK trading presence.
A UAE-based business may be able to use the route if the business and the proposed worker meet the UK Expansion Worker sponsor and visa requirements. Eligibility depends on the specific facts and cannot be assumed from the company location alone.
We provide consultancy to eligible overseas businesses, including businesses based in Pakistan, the UAE and other countries, where the UK Expansion Worker requirements are relevant. The route is not intended for an already UK-trading business to sponsor itself under Expansion Worker.
