The Global Business Mobility Service Supplier route is for overseas workers who are either a contractual service supplier employed by an overseas service provider or a self-employed independent professional based overseas, and who need to undertake an assignment in the UK to provide services covered by one of the UK’s international trade agreements.
The UK based organisation who will be the recipient of the suppliers services must be registered with the Home Office to sponsor service supplier workers and assign a Certificate of Sponsorship to the individual(s).
The individual(s) to be sponsored must be an employee of the overseas business or be a self-employed service provider living and working overseas. They must have been employed by that business for at least 12 months or be able to demonstrate at least 12 months’ professional experience if they are a self-employed service provider.
The overseas business must have a contract in place with the UK Based organisation and the contract must be covered by a valid international trade agreement.
