Factsheet: Secondment
Worker

21 April 2022

The Secondment Worker visa forms part of the UK’s Global Business Mobility (GBM) immigration route for overseas businesses who need to temporarily send workers to the UK for a specific purpose that cannot be done by a settled worker.

You can apply for a Secondment Worker visa if your overseas employer is transferring you to the UK to do an eligible job for a different organisation. Your overseas employer must have a high-value contract with the UK organisation. This is a new immigration route under the points-based system from 11 April 2022, and therefore there is no equivalent predecessor route.

This guide outlines who is eligible for a Secondment Worker visa and how to apply.
