The category is designed to allow multinational companies to transfer staff to a skilled job in a UK branch of the company for posts that would not otherwise be filled by resident workers.

From 6 April 2010, Intra-Company Transfers splits into three new sub-categories. The table below summarizes the main features of each sub-category:

ESTABLISHED STAFF

• The purpose of the Established Staff sub-category is the same as the existing Intra-Company Transfer category. It is intended to allow established employees to be transferred to the UK branch of their employer for posts requiring company-specific knowledge that would not otherwise be filled by resident workers.

• To ensure the post genuinely requires an established member of staff, the minimum experience requirement is being doubled from six months to a year. This means that the Established Staff sub-category will only be open to staff who have been employed by the company overseas for at least 12 months before coming to the UK. Time spent in the UK in this sub-category or under the Intra-Company Transfer rules in place before 6 April will count towards the 12 months. This means that applicants do not have to spend a further 12 months working overseas before they can apply to come back.

• Home Office will not allow the other new sub-categories to be used to circumvent this 12 months requirement. Time spent in the UK as a Graduate Trainee or Skills Transfer will not count towards the 12 months’ company experience required for the Established Staff sub-category. However, if a migrant has worked for the company overseas for six months before coming to the UK as a Graduate Trainee or Skills Transfer, then returns and works for the company overseas for a further six months, we will allow them to add the two six month periods together.

• To reflect the temporary nature of Intra-Company Transfers, the Established Staff category will not lead to settlement in the UK. As at present, an initial application may be granted for up to a maximum of 3 years, with a possible extension for up to a further 2 years. If the post is to become permanent, Home Office expects employers to try to recruit from the resident labor market.

• As a transitional arrangement, this change will only apply to new applicants. Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) migrants who are already in the UK before 6 April 2010 will be able to apply for extensions in the Established Staff sub-category and continue their journey towards settlement in the UK. This will also apply to intra-company transfer work permit holders who need to extend their stay under Tier 2.

• The purpose of the Established Staff sub-category is to enable multinational companies to fill posts in the UK which require skills that cannot be supplied by new recruits, and so could never be filled by carrying out a Resident Labor Market Test. Therefore migrants will not be allowed to switch from this sub-category into Tier 2 (General), unless the reason for the switch is that they wish to work for a different Sponsor.

GRADUATE TRAINEES

• The purpose of the Graduate Trainee sub-category is to allow multinational companies to transfer recent graduate recruits to the UK branch for training. The recruits must be being sent as a part of a structured graduate training program, with clearly defined progression towards a managerial or specialist role.

• The applicant must also have been employed by the company overseas for at least 3 months before coming to the UK. Time spent in the UK as a Skills Transfer will not count towards the 3 months experience required.

• The recruit should be coming to the UK as a part of their training or career development, not to fill a long-term post, nor to displace a resident worker. Therefore the maximum length of stay that will be granted for this sub-category is 12 months. Applicants will not be able to extend their stay beyond 12 months or switch into other immigration categories.

• To reflect the level of the training program, this sub-category will only be open to migrants who are working in graduate occupations.

• List of graduate occupations (under Tier 2 Intra Company Transfer Visa) contains all the SOC codes in this fourth skill level, with one exception. This list does not include the SOC code ‘2444 Clergy’ as this occupation falls under Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) and not under Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer). Please contact LAMBIRDS for the list.

• This sub-category is not intended for all graduate recruits, only those on accelerated promotion or career development schemes (such as the Civil Service Fast Stream). We will therefore limit the sub-category to a maximum of five places, per sponsor, per year.

SKILLS TRANSFERS

• The purpose of the Skills Transfer sub-category is to enable those who have been newly recruited overseas by a multinational company to transfer temporarily to the United Kingdom to acquire or impart skills and knowledge relevant to their new role. They will not need previous company experience before coming to the UK.

• The key principle underpinning this new sub-category is that the skills transfer should be incidental to the applicant’s employment overseas and that while they may be transferring temporarily to the United Kingdom, their job or role must not. Examples would be:

• a person newly recruited overseas by a multinational company to deliver a project overseas on behalf of a UK client and transferred temporarily to the company’s UK branch for the purposes of client familiarization;

• A person newly recruited overseas by a UK-based multinational company to fill a post in one of the company’s overseas branches and temporarily transferred to the company’s UK headquarters for familiarization with the company’s culture, facilities, products or procedures.

• Accordingly, this sub-category cannot be used to fill vacancies not to displace resident workers. This means that the appointment must be additional to the company’s UK staffing requirements. If it were not for the need for skills transfer, the role in the UK would not exist.

• The maximum length of stay that will be granted for this sub-category is 6 months. Applicants will not be able to extend their stay beyond 6 months or switch into other immigration categories.

• As with Graduate Trainees, the Skills Transfer sub-category will only be open to migrants who are working in one of the graduate occupations.

• To reflect the level of the training program, this sub-category will only be open to migrants who are working in graduate occupations.

• This sub-category is not intended for all graduate recruits, only those on accelerated promotion or career development schemes (such as the Civil Service Fast Stream). We will therefore limit the sub-category to a maximum of five places, per sponsor, per year.
