Cosultancy and work permit

[Celebrate]

I have an intra company agreement with a uk firm.
I am the one providing the service under the agreement.
But the agreement says the relationship of the Consultancy to the Company will be that of independent contractor and at no time will the Consultancy or the Representative hold itself/himself out as being an employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary company.

Can he succesfully apply for work permit for me.

Sorry, I got a bit lost while trying to understand your query.

- Do you work for the 'IntraCompany' or the UK company ? ( I presume the Consultancy agreement is signed between the above parties with a different company(end-client)

Code: Select all

Can he succesfully apply for work permit for me.

Who is he ?. For a company to apply for a workpermit for you in the UK, you need be employed by them first(under the work permit procesing terms). Workpermit Office considers an offshore company differently, so the rules are different.

Thank you for the mail.

The Contract is between my organisation (referred to as Consultant),
and a UK Company (referred to as Company)

I or any other representative can act for ny company under the agreement;
But as independent contractor.
Thanks for your expected answer.

Hi

You have two issues here:

A) The contractual relationship between your employer and the client

B) The immigration position w.r.t. you getting re-sponsored.


To take (B) first, you can certainly get re-sponsored if a suitable UK company (ie almost any genuine established UK company that is not just a '1 man band' contractor company) offers you a job and will go through the needed process (ie call **deleted** and get them to handle it)

Regarding (A), I think this simply says that under the present contractual terms, you are not an employee of teh client and can not pretend to be one. This does not mean that at a future time you could not be hired by the client and become their employee.

I hope this helps
