Fragomen’s “Guide to Navigating Immigration in the UK Energy & Maritime Sector” offers a comprehensive overview of the complexities involved in securing the correct immigration permissions for individuals working in or passing through UK waters, including the UK territorial waters and the UK continental shelf.

The guide addresses the often confusing terminology and the various concessions and exceptions found in UK Immigration Rules, which can make the process of determining the appropriate permissions daunting for businesses. The team also highlights some of the key factors that businesses must consider when mobilising employees for both offshore and onshore work, such as visa requirements, crew member documentation and compliance with maritime and energy sector-specific regulations. Finally, it outlines practical considerations that companies often overlook when preparing to send workers to the UK, ensuring that businesses are fully equipped to navigate the intricacies of UK immigration law in this arena.
