Factsheet: Service Supplier
The Service Supplier 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 Service Supplier visa if you have a contract to provide services for a UK company, either as an employee for an overseas company, or a self-employed professional based overseas. From 11 April 2022, this visa replaces the provisions for contractual service suppliers and independent professionals on the International Agreement route.
