  • The cited official article is not a complete operational checklist; current forms, implementing decisions, fees, processing practice and all supporting evidence require separate review.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The alien must have worked for the undertaking or group for at least six months prior to the transfer, and must be employed without disruption by the undertaking or group during the transfer (Article 59(2)(b)).
