UK Senior Specialist Worker Visa - Global Business Mobility Visa

Applicants seeking the UK Global Business Mobility Senior or Specialist Worker Visa must satisfy the following requirements:

1. Hold a senior or specialist position within the company, with knowledge and skills beneficial to the UK economy.
2. Have an employer who will sponsor their visa application.

While holding a senior position or possessing specialist knowledge and having a sponsor is fundamental, additional nuanced requirements exist to successfully secure the Senior or Specialist Worker Visa. These detailed specifications ensure a smooth transition of global talent to the UK. Let’s delve into these specific requirements:

You must receive a minimum annual salary of £48,500 or the amount 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.

You must have been working for a linked entity of the UK sponsoring company for a minimum of 12 months at the time of application unless your gross salary and permitted allowances are at or above £73,900 when this requirement does not apply.

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.
