In this episode, host Sam Munday is joined by Lizzie Field to discuss the UK immigration options for overseas businesses looking to expand into the UK.
They explore when visas are required and for who, focussing principally on the two key visas for overseas businesses: the UK Expansion Worker and Skilled Worker visas. The conversation also covers the practical considerations around obtaining a sponsor licence, such as expected lead times and some of the common pitfalls businesses encounter during the application process, and the consequences for non-compliance.
