The Senior or Specialist Worker visa is a visa under the UK’s point-based immigration system that replaces the previous Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) route. This visa is designed to enable foreign nationals with specialist skills and experience to come to the UK and work for a company in a senior role. It also allows employers to fill vacancies with experienced professionals from outside of the European Economic Area (EEA).
The Senior or Specialist Worker visa allows businesses to benefit from global mobility, as it enables them to recruit experienced individuals from other countries who can bring specialised skills and knowledge into their organisation. It also provides an opportunity for employers in the UK to access talent from abroad, which can help them grow their business and increase productivity.
