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

Limits of the record
  • What work the consultant may do beyond the stated consultancy and whether they are tied to the sponsor is not stated.
  • Family position applies to Working Resident principals generally (Working Dependent class in the Working Resident section); the booklet does not state it per class.

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

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the permission duration, renewal and longer-term residence direction.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_RESPONDE: Prior defect persists: residual 'Renewal is not stated' is contradicted by the booklet (fee table: Consultant/Specialist extension fee USD 700; Visa Extension rules lines 209-216), which the answer leaves out.)

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
