OBS_VALUE: At the end of 2016, a new single permit was introduced for non-EU/EEA intra-corporate transferees (ICTs) in application of the EU Directive 2014/66. The permit combines a residence permit and a work permit. The employer must apply for the permit at the IND, the immigration authority, but need not be an approved sponsor. However, the employer must demonstrate a number of conditions, including that the salary of the ICT willl meet a certain statutory thresholds applicable to highly skilled migrants. The previous permit system for ICTs used to be under the Highly Skilled Migrants which remains in place, although after 2016, applications will be tested against the new ICT permit first. Statutory salary requirements apply under both permit regimes.
