Q&As

A UK company has engaged an EU manufacturer to undertake some specialist construction work. The EU manufacturer has engaged a subcontractor due to the specialist nature of the work. The EU citizens (who are employees of the subcontractor) will need to be in the UK for a number of months, possibly up to 12 months due to the nature of the work but will be travelling back to the EU to see family at various points. The EU citizens have not been to the UK before so they are not eligible for the EU Settlement Scheme or a frontier worker permit. Are there any routes available to enable the EU citizens to enter and work in the UK legally? Are there any risks to the UK company?
