The UK Government has reinstated the quarantine exemptions for international business executives travelling to the UK.
The exemption covers 2 types of senior executives (where they are undertaking qualifying activities in England). These are:
Multinational executives – executives based overseas who are part of multinational firms and visiting their UK based subsidiaries or branches
International executives – executives of overseas companies normally based overseas who are seeking to undertake exempt activity in England related to either:
- making a financial investment in the UK based business
- establishing a new business within the UK
Government guidance on “Working in England if you are a senior executive bringing significant economic benefit to the UK” can be read here.
