Global Business Mobility - UK Expansion Worker Visa Application: Our client’s goal was to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary of his well-established overseas eco-friendly rug company. He wished to come to the UK in the role of CEO and to bring four additional workers with him to further the business’ interests in expanding into the UK market. We advised him of the various business options, discussing the pros and cons of each. We advised that the UK Expansion Worker route was most suitable for his circumstances, particularly as he had no business associates in the UK that could hold the key personnel roles. We assisted him to apply for the UK Expansion Worker sponsor licence, which is a document-heavy application, streamlining the process for the client where possible. We explained to the Home Office the business plans in detail, highlighting key areas of growth, and why it was essential that he could come to the UK to make the business a success here. The application was approved.
