INTRA COMPANY / INTRA GROUP TRANSFERS

Intra Company Transfers is applicable for companies that have an established branch of their company overseas, and now wish to transfer a key or valuable employee to their UK subsidiary company. The employee must be transferred to a senior post within the UK and s/he will need to have been with the overseas company for a minimum of six months. Furthermore, for an Intra Company Transfer work permit, the employer must show evidence as required by the Home Office that a common ownership exists between their companies overseas and in the UK. The employee must possess the relevant company knowledge, experience and necessary qualifications in order for a transfer to the position in the UK.
