Intra - Company Transfers
The Intra-Company Transfers category (ICT) allows multi-national employers to transfer overseas employees to fill a specific position which they have been unable to fill with the local resident workforce.
For this type of work permit you must have been employed by the overseas branch of the company for a period of six months or more prior to the application. You must also demonstrate the relevant knowledge and experience to fulfil the role.
Under the Intra-Company Transfer category, your salary may be paid in the United Kingdom or abroad. Intra-Company Transfer visa can be valid for a period of between one day and three years, depending on the length of time requested by the sponsoring company.
From 6 January 2010 if you apply to switch or extend a Tier 2 Work Permit visa you will be required to attend a biometric appointment and you will be issued with an Identity Card for Foreign Nationals (ICFN).
