Do not assume so. Assess the actual organization, stage and process.
Identify the selected operation
A new office and an established operation may present different evidence. A comparison forecast is not permission or a guarantee for either alternative.
Keep dated evidence of actual operations throughout the initial period, rather than waiting to reconstruct the business when an extension is approaching. The initial new-office approval runs for one year, so a household that relocates on the intended opening date rather than on an authorised start may find part of that year spent before anyone has arrived. Where the new-office rules do apply, their one-year initial limit and specific evidence remain necessary; a branch-opening schedule does not change those rules. Add the requirement of one continuous year of qualifying employment with the organisation abroad within the preceding three years, and note that a new-office approval is limited to one year initially, with the extension judged against implementation.
