The U.K. Immigration Video Series: The Intracompany Transfer Visa

As employees, business leaders and travelers begin to adapt to the U.K.’s post-Brexit immigration system, a strong grasp of the most commonly used visa categories — including new visas established as a result of Brexit — is essential. In this entry of the U.K. Immigration Video Series, Trainee Solicitor Christopher Jefferies provides an overview of the U.K.’s intra-company visa, the post-Brexit replacement for the Tier 2 intracompany transfer or ICT visa category.

In the video, Christopher answers the following questions:

• For whom is the intra-company transfer visa suitable?
• What are the main requirements that must be met to apply for an intra-company transfer visa?
• How long does it take to apply for and obtain an intra-company transfer visa?
• What are the main fees (as of January 2021) that need to be paid in connection with an intra-company transfer visa??
• What is the validity period of an intra-company transfer visa?
• What happens after the visa is granted?
• Can a person switch to the intra-company transfer visa in the U.K.?
• Can a visa holder’s partner and children apply to join them in the U.K. as dependents?
