Description

This provision of the Immigration Rules allows overseas companies to dispatch an individual to the United Kingdom for business purposes. It is used mainly by representatives or managers of overseas companies to establish a branch or subsidiary in the United Kingdom.

The provision is designed to benefit business and trade. The authorities are vigilant in ensuring that it is used for this purpose and not for the immigration convenience of the individual. With this in mind, applications from a member of a family firm are closely scrutinised. This is to ensure that the applicant is suitably qualified to represent the business and will have true operational control of the subsidiary.

There is a shareholding limit to ensure that the business remains centred overseas rather than a major shareholder moving the core of the business to the United Kingdom.
