Secondment Worker Visa

About Secondment Worker Visa

The Secondment Worker Visa is a Global Business Mobility route for overseas employees seconded into a UK business as part of a high-value contract or investment arrangement between an overseas employer and a UK entity. It is typically used where significant commercial agreements need overseas personnel temporarily in the UK to deliver on contractual obligations. The arrangement, value of the contract and sponsorship all need to satisfy Home Office requirements. RakLAW supports overseas employers and UK sponsors in evidencing the underlying commercial relationship and preparing the application.

Who this is for

  • Overseas employers seconding staff to UK partners
  • UK businesses receiving seconded overseas personnel
  • Sponsors under high-value commercial contracts
  • Project leads delivering major UK contractual work
