An intra-corporate transfer (ICT) allows international companies to move employees between national or regional branches. Whether it involves relocating senior management, key personnel, or skilled professionals, these transfers require careful planning and full compliance with all relevant legal requirements.
At UCI, we provide end-to-end support for intercompany transfers, ensuring a smooth, compliant transition for both the business and the relocating employee.
Why Intercompany Transfers Are Essential?
Global companies rely on intercompany transfers to:
- Ensure consistent leadership across locations
- Deploy highly skilled professionals where needed
- Build regional business continuity and alignment
- Strengthen internal career mobility and employee retention
These transfers are vital for international growth and operational flexibility.
What’s Required for a Successful Transfer?
Relocating an employee involves several steps and compliance measures that vary by country. Key requirements typically include:
Work Permit Application
A valid work permit or ICT visa must be obtained before relocation, based on:
- Duration of stay
- Country-specific rules
- Job role and seniority
Assignment Contract
The employer must provide a finalized assignment contract between the home and host entity. This document outlines:
- The employee’s job title and responsibilities
- Salary and payroll arrangements
- Duration and terms of the assignment
Supporting Documentation
Additional documentation may include:
- Proof of professional qualifications
- Immigration application forms
- Tax or health insurance registrations
Note: Intercompany transfers are often limited to executives, managers, and highly skilled personnel.
