How long can I stay in the UK on a Senior or Specialist Worker visa?

If you earn below the higher salary band, you can normally stay for a maximum of 5 years in any 6-year period. If you earn at or above the higher threshold (around £73,900), you may be able to stay for up to 9 years in any 10-year period.

These cumulative caps count time on related intra-company and Global Business Mobility routes together, so your full UK work history on these visas matters. A small number of long-standing intra-company transfer holders have transitional arrangements, but most applicants will be subject to these limits.
