Intra-Company Transfer

A Intra Company Transfer Visa (ICT) allows a candidate to transfer to the UK from an overseas branch of a UK company in order to undertake work on a specific project. The Intra Company Transfer category places strong emphasis on the employer being able to demonstrate that the salary for the role is appropriate and that no UK resident worker can fill the position.

The ICT category has been split into two subcategories - 'short-term' and 'long-term'. The assessment criteria below applies to migrants making their initial application under one of the subcategories. A summary of each of the subcategories is provided in the table below the following Intra Company Transfer points information.
