| If you have an established
branch of your company overseas, and wish to transfer
a valuable employee over to a UK branch, you can apply
for an Intra-Company Transfer. |
|
 |
The UK is party to a number of European Agreements with
Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. The provisions
of those agreements allow for the transfer of key personnel
between a parent company and a UK based subsidiary.
There must however, be a direct link between the
overseas and the UK company by common ownership
and relevant documentation will be required.
This category is for employees of multinational companies
who are transferring to a senior post in the UK, and the
post must need an established employee (with at least
six months working for the overseas company) who
has essential company knowledge and experience.
You are NOT required to advertise the post, but
will need to explain why you need the employee for the
period of time which you are requesting, and what their
role will be .
These applications usually take about 1 week to
be processed by Work Permits (UK).

| To
qualify one's skills must be of a high level |
| You will still be
required to have the relevant
skills and experience, and to have worked with the
overseas branch for at least 6 months . If you need
to be registered with the appropriate UK professional
organisation (for example GMC, RCVS) then this is proof
of high level skills. |
| If it is a senior
board post or executive position then at least
3 years senior experience would be expected. The person
must have a personal daily input into directing the company
at a strategic level and should have substantial senior
board level experience. |

| Intra-Company
Transfers will not normally apply to workers who are: |
| Employed by their
own overseas service companies. |
| Engaged through other
third parties (including overseas companies) whose
main involvement with the worker is to hire
the worker's services to others. |
