The Global Business Mobility (GBM) visa is a new category of sponsored routes for overseas businesses looking to establish a presence in the UK to transfer staff to.
To be eligible you must be 18 or over, be currently working for a business or organisation linked to your UK sponsor, or by a joint venture on which you are sponsored to work. You must have a valid certificate of sponsorship issued by your UK sponsor for the job you are planning to undertake. You must also be able to prove that you are able to support and maintain yourself without relying on public funds.
This opportunity is tailored to senior managers in international companies who possess the capability to contribute to the company’s growth in the UK market.
This is for senior employees or specialist workers of overseas businesses who may be required to undertake a temporary work assignment in the UK on behalf of your employer.
The Graduate Trainee Visa is facilitated by your employer abroad, who wishes to send junior graduates to the UK for a work placement as part of their graduate training program, ultimately paving the way for senior managerial or specialized positions.
This is applicable to individuals who work as contractual service providers or independent professionals and are presently engaged with an overseas service provider through a UK sponsor.
