How Long Can a Secondment Worker Stay in the UK?
A Secondment Worker can come to the UK for up to one year initially, with the option to extend their stay by up to a further year. Two years is the maximum continuous period a person can stay in the UK on this route.
However, it is possible for a worker to stay in the UK under this route for two years, leave the UK, but then start a new secondment with a different UK sponsor soon after. They would however be subject to the maximum cumulative period for the GBM routes. This maximum is a cumulative total of 5 years in any 6-year period or, for certain high earners with salaries above £73,900, 9 years in any 10-year period.
