Intra-company Visa

Intra-company Visa

What is the Intra-company Visa?

An Intra-company visa allows overseas workers to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job at their employer’s UK branch. It is suitable for those who are an existing employee of a multinational employer, and who need to transfer to their UK branch either on a long-term basis or for frequent short visits. Under this category there are two sub-categories:

  • Intra-company Transfer Visa – you need to have worked for your employer overseas for more than 12 months, unless your annual salary is £73,900 or more in the UK. This visa category has replaced the Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) Long-term Staff visa.
  • Intra-company Graduate Trainee Visa – you need to have worked for your employer overseas for at least 3 months immediately before the date you apply, in order to transfer to the UK branch to participate a graduate training programme for a managerial or specialist role. This visa category has replaced the Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) Graduate Trainee visa.
