Intra-company transfers

This page explains what proof of working overseas for your sponsoring you must send to support your application to the intra-company transfer category (Tier 2 Intra-company transfer) under the points-based system to work in the United Kingdom.

What documents you must send

  • You must send one of the following as evidence that you have worked for your sponsoring organisation for at the least the last six months before you apply:
    payslips;
  • personal bank or building society statements; or
  • building society pass book.

Payslips

These should be either formal payslips or on company-headed paper. If payslips are not on headed paper or you only get online pay slips, you must supply a letter from your sponsor. The letter must be on letter headed paper and must be signed by a senior official to confirm the authenticity of the payslips.

Payslips must cover the whole six months, so if your payslips are monthly, each monthly payslip for the six month period must be provided.

Personal bank or building society statements covering the last six months before you apply

  • The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:
    your name;
  • the account number;
  • the date of the statement;
  • the financial institution's name and logo; and
  • transactions by your sponsor covering the six months.

The most recent statement must be dated within one month of your application.

If you want to send electronic bank statements from an online account, these must contain all of the details listed above. In addition, you will need to provide a supporting letter from your bank, on company headed paper, confirming the authenticity of the statements sent.

Building society pass book covering the last six month period immediately before you apply

The building society pass book should clearly show:

  • your name;
  • the account number;
  • the date of the statement;
  • the financial institution's name and logo; and
  • transactions by your sponsor covering the six months.

You should send full contact details for each document supplied, as we may want to check your documents.

You should also send an explanation of the documents you have sent that may help us.
