The Global Business Mobility Visas (GBM) was launched in March 2022 with 5 sub-categories of sponsored routes for overseas businesses; the new category of sponsored routes allows overseas businesses to establish a presence in the UK or to transfer staff to the UK for certain business purposes.
To be able to sponsor a worker under this visa category, a business must first hold an A-rated Sponsor Licence. Those businesses who do not hold a sponsor licence must take steps to either apply for a Sponsor Licence or take steps to review your current Licence meets the needs and objectives of the business’s future recruitment plans.
