The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the median salary provided at application by Indian nationals issued with a Senior or Specialist Worker visa (Global Business Mobility) was in (a) 2023 and (b) 2024.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Applicants to the Global Business Mobility Senior or Specialist route must be awarded points for the salary requirement, either meeting the general salary requirement of £48,500 or the relevant going rate for their occupation, whichever is higher. The Home Office doesn't hold the information requested in a reportable format and this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
