Overseas Business Extension

For businesses established outside the UK that wish to expand their operations in the country, the Overseas Business Extension offers a valuable opportunity. This visa allows overseas businesses to send key employees to the UK to set up or take over operations.

Eligibility for the Overseas Business Extension

  1. Business Ownership: You must own a business outside the UK, and you must prove you have the authority to send employees to the UK.
  2. Expansion Plans: You need to demonstrate that your business plans to expand or establish a branch in the UK.
  3. Employee Requirements: The employee coming to the UK must have the relevant skills and experience to perform the role.

Benefits of the Overseas Business Extension

  • Expansion Opportunities: The visa allows businesses to tap into the UK market and expand their operations.
  • Employee Mobility: Employees can come to the UK to help with the establishment or management of the UK branch.
  • Path to Settlement: After a few years, employees may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR).
