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.

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?

For the purposes of this Q&A, we have not considered the provisions within the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), as that is not directly...
