I have a friend who is 10 months into a 12 month work visa the company he works for has no work for him but my company would like to employ him. We have been advised that we can take him on a letter of borrow, does anybody know how these work and any web sites with information regarding them?

Thanks in advance

first of all he can't do that officially till he is 1 year with current sponsor.

second, Secondment (IAARA, borrowing if u like) is valid for 6 months only and once expires must go back to his old sponsor for 6 months before he can do another secondment.

why don't u transfer his sponsorship right away????

HI,

YOU CAN GET THE LETTER FROM IMMIGRATION, GET IT SIGNED BY THE BOTH COMPANIES (SPONSOR & BORROWER) IMMIGRATION WILL RECTIFY THIS AND HE CAN WORK WITH THE BORROWER.

CHEERS
