Global Business Mobility Visa UK

Transfer senior staff or set up a UK branch with the Global Business Mobility visa. Expert legal support for multinationals and overseas employers.

Move Your Key People Into the UK — Legally, Quickly, Compliantly

The Global Business Mobility (GBM) visa is a sponsored route built specifically for overseas businesses that need to establish a UK presence or move existing staff into the country for defined business purposes. Unlike the Skilled Worker route, GBM is not designed for long-term settlement — it's a temporary, purpose-built pathway for corporate mobility, knowledge transfer, and market entry.

Every applicant requires a valid Certificate of Sponsorship issued by a UK entity linked to the overseas employer, and the entity must hold a valid Sponsor Licence covering the relevant GBM route.

At Waltham Law Chambers, we identify the correct pathway for your business structure and manage the full application process — for the sponsoring UK entity and the individual employee alike.

How We Get You There

Route & Eligibility Assessment

We review your business structure, the purpose of the UK transfer, and the employee's role to confirm the correct GBM pathway and eligibility before you apply.

Document Collection & Review

We provide a detailed checklist and meticulously review your documentation — corporate links, Certificate of Sponsorship, salary evidence, and role details — to ensure Home Office compliance.

Application Submission

We prepare and submit a professionally structured application on behalf of both the sponsoring entity and the employee, minimising delays and requests for further evidence.

Decision & Ongoing Support

We manage all correspondence with the Home Office through to a decision, and advise on extensions, switching routes, or transitioning to a settlement-eligible visa where applicable.
