Intra – Company
WHAT ARE THE INTRA-COMPANY ROUTES?
There are two Intra-Company routes: the Intra-Company Transfer route and the Intra- Company Graduate Trainee route.
Intra-Company Transfer (ICT)
The Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) route is to enable multinational businesses to transfer employees to do a skilled role or undertake training in the UK.
Intra-Company Graduate Trainee
The Intra-Company Graduate Trainee route is for workers who are being transferred by the business they work for to undertake a role in the UK as part of a structured graduate training programme.
BENEFITS

The spouse or partner and/or children of ICT and Graduate Trainee migrants may join or remain with them in UK as dependants. Generally, these individuals may work and study in the UK subject to certain restrictions.
SWITCHING:
Migrants will now be able to switch from within the UK into the ICT and Graduate Trainee routes from most other UK immigration routes.
