Cost Considerations and Budgeting for Transfers

Budgeting for employee transfers to the UK from Kenya involves several cost centres. These typically include visa application fees, Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), potential legal or consultancy fees, and relocation expenses such as flights, temporary accommodation, and shipping. For a Skilled Worker visa, for instance, the IHS can amount to thousands of Kenya Shillings (KES) per person, varying based on the visa duration. Corporate sponsorship license fees also add to the initial outlay. Accurate cost estimation is vital for financial planning. Getso Consultants can assist in developing comprehensive cost projections, helping your business allocate resources effectively and avoid unexpected expenses. Our aim is to provide transparent cost management throughout the transfer process.
