To secure a Global Business Mobility Visa for Expansion Workers, specific requirements need to be met. These prerequisites are in place to ensure that the visa reaches businesses genuinely planning to expand their operations to the UK.

You must receive a minimum annual salary of £48,500, as stated on the Occupational Code (OC code), whichever is higher.

The role you intend to undertake must be considered at or above the bachelor’s degree level (RQF 6).

You must obtain sponsorship from an employer registered as a Home Office sponsor under the Global Business Mobility route.

To qualify, you must fulfil one of the following criteria: have a minimum 12-month employment history with a linked entity of the UK sponsoring company, unless your gross salary and permitted allowances exceed £73,900; be a Japanese national working for a Japanese company expanding to the UK; or be an Australian national or permanent resident employed by an Australian company developing to the UK, exempting you from the 12-month requirement.

You must have held £1,270 in savings for 28 days before the date of application, or an A-rated Home Office sponsor may certify that they will provide this on the CoS. Further funds must be held for each dependant family member applying.
