A list of eligible jobs for Global Business Mobility visas:
The table is sorted in order of occupation code, with the smallest numbers at the top. You may be able to use your web browser to search for it on the page.
If you cannot find your job on the list, try looking for similar job titles. Use full words, such as ‘laboratory’ rather than ‘lab’.
In certain cases, there is more flexibility for the eligibility requirements:
These occupation codes have been removed from the list of eligible occupations.
However, if you’re already sponsored in one of these occupation codes you can continue working in your job until your visa expires. You can also extend your visa to continue working in the exact same job.
If you do not want to continue working in one of the occupations above, you can switch your job if it is on the list of eligible occupations. If your job changes you must apply to update your visa.
Don’t include personal or financial information like your National Insurance number or credit card details.
