Overview of the UK Expansion Worker Route<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Home Office has updated its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/67f3de36c2fea2548f4eff19\/Sponsor-guidance-Appendix-A-supporting-documents-04-25-v1.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">guidance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for <\/span>Workers and Temporary Workers: guidance for sponsors Appendix A: supporting documents<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this article we focus on the supporting documents required for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/immigrationbarrister.co.uk\/business-immigration\/sponsor-licences\/uk-expansion-worker-sponsor-licence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UK Expansion Worker Sponsor Licence<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> route from 09 April 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UK Expansion Worker route is for overseas businesses who wish to send senior managers to the UK to establish a branch or subsidiary in the UK. This route does not lead to settlement for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/immigrationbarrister.co.uk\/personal-immigration\/global-business-mobility-visas\/uk-expansion-worker-visa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UK Expansion Worker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If the business is already trading in the UK, there are other routes such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/immigrationbarrister.co.uk\/business-immigration\/global-business-mobility-visas\/uk-senior-or-specialist-worker-visa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior or Specialist Worker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/immigrationbarrister.co.uk\/personal-immigration\/long-term-work-visas\/skilled-worker-visa\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skilled Worker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> route.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have published a number of articles focusing on these changes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To demonstrate a UK footprint, there are two ways to provide evidence. You can provide the Companies House reference number of that branch or subsidiary or a copy of the certificate of incorporation. Alternatively, you can also show that you have purchased or leased business premises. The updated guidance adds that the lease or agreement must be signed by all relevant parties. It also adds that if the UK company has a website, the website address should be provided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"qualifying-link-uk-overseas-business\"><b>3. Proving a Qualifying Link Between UK and Overseas Entities<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The 09 April 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/media\/67ee7a0fe9c76fa33048c73a\/Sponsor-Global-Business-Mobility-worker-04-25-v1.0__2_.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Workers and Temporary Workers: Sponsor a Global Business Mobility Worker<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">has set out a section on how the company must show that the UK business is linked to the overseas business by common ownership or control. One of the ways is to show one entity controls the composition of the other entity\u2019s board. You can also show that one entity has more than half of the voting rights by having enough shares in the other entity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To support your application, you can provide documents such as an affidavit signed by a senior partner within the UK entity or Articles or Memorandum of Association of either entity, or both entities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the new guidance from 09 April 2025, the Home Office has listed all the documents that must be provided to show evidence of overseas trading presence covering at least 3 years before the date of application unless an exception applies. Some of the documents are similar to those in the previous guidance, such as corporate bank statements and certified business accounts or annual reports. Copies of contracts for goods or services are still listed as one of the supporting documents. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"exceptions-uk-expansion-worker-route\"><b>5. What Are the Exceptions Specified on the UK Expansion Worker Route?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australian or Japanese businesses<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an exception if the linked overseas business is an Australian or a Japanese business. The evidence required only needs to cover the 12 months period before the date of application, however, you will only be able to sponsor one person at a time. If the UK business wishes to sponsor more than one person, you need to provide documents showing the overseas business has been trading for 3 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses listed on specified stock exchanges<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the overseas business is either listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market or AIM market or an international stock exchange that the FCA considers to have an equivalent level of regulation to UK markets, there is no need to submit evidence of the overseas trading presence. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"uk-expansion-capability-required-documents\"><b>6. Proving UK Expansion Capability: Required Documents and Evidence<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the updated guidance, this route still requires the following information:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">information about the overseas business, such as the sector which the business operates in, a hierarchy chart;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a business plan;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">information about jobs to be filled;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">certified copy of contract for any work with a third party as evidence of your expansion, e.g. market research undertaken by a specialist company.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The guidance has narrowed down the options of documents to be provided if relevant to the business and at least one document must be submitted, such as evidence of market research conducted or annual reports and investor information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Home Office will consider the evidence of the business planning and finances to see whether you are able to establish a UK trading presence within two years. The UK expansion must also be the same type of business conducted by the overseas business and must not be a new venture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sponsor licence application fees have increased from \u00a3536 to \u00a3574 for small businesses and charities. For medium or large businesses, the fee is now \u00a31,579, an increase of \u00a3103 since 09 April 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In April 2025, there were also changes to the definition of a company size. A business is now considered small if <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have at least two of the following:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual turnover of \u00a315m or less \u2013 up from \u00a310.2m;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total assets worth \u00a37.5m or less \u2013 up from \u00a35.1m;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50 employees or fewer \u2013 no change.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charities registered in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, or as excepted\/exempt charities, as well as ecclesiastical corporations established for charitable purposes, can also qualify as charitable sponsors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have outlined the UK Expansion Worker visa requirements following sponsor licence approval in our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/immigrationbarrister.co.uk\/uk-expansion-worker-visa-eligibility-requirements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">detailed guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Certificate of Sponsorship fee for UK Expansion Worker has risen from \u00a325 to \u00a355 per CoS.

The UK Expansion Worker route does not lead to settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What documents are required to show a UK footprint?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must provide either a Companies House reference number or a certificate of incorporation.
