Limits of the record
  • The 12 months of prior service with the same company and the company-specific-knowledge requirement are in the source but belong to the citation of the R1 answer, which is not reused here.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The transferee may work only for the employer specified on the permit and only in the post it was obtained for, and may bring dependants if the permit is issued for longer than 12 months, subject to maintaining and accommodating them without recourse to public funds. The transferee cannot switch employer or to other work permit employment, cannot extend the permit beyond 3 years and does not accrue time towards indefinite leave to remain.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The maximum work-permit period is 3 years, including any extension, and the permit cannot be extended beyond 3 years. A permit of up to 36 months must be followed by a 12-month absence before the employee can return in this capacity. Time on this route does not accrue towards indefinite leave to remain.
