Companies in other countries who wish to promote their business and open a branch of their company in the UK are able to send one member of their staff to the UK as their sole representative.
The staff member must be able to show that they are employed outside the UK, in a senior position, and have extensive experience and knowledge of the type of business the company is involved in. The applicant must have a basic level of English language ability.
If successful, the applicant will be given a visa for three years, and is then able to extend for a further two years. At this point, it may be possible to settle permanently in the UK.
We understand that considerable effort and expense will have already been invested in preparing to enter UK markets, and it is essential to avoid delays caused by visa issues.
Our service will guide the company and the applicant through the process of document and application preparation, to ensure a successful application.
We can also offer the company extensive advice on procedures for the establishment of your UK branch, or connect you with suitable professionals if specific expertise is needed in any area.
