Is it possible for an employee who holds a current NATO clearance to satisfy the vetting requirements to work at a job requiring UK SC clearance even though he doesn't have the five years residential history in the UK?

Who knows...
As I keep saying it's essentially a risk assessment. Someone having high clearance in an allied country with an effective security service is probably a safer bet than most but the only way to find out is to apply.Blog? What blog...? -

Maybe. Maybe not.
There are some circumstances where NATO and SC may be very different.
Take for example someone who is NATO cleared for work on US submarines. They are unlikely to just walk into SC for BAE Systems as there is direct competition despite being allied. Same for Eurofighter vs. JSF.
In general you need to be 5 years resident in the UK but again there are no hard and fast rules. If your client will sponsor you then go for it.See You Next TuesdayComment

How many years residency in the UK does this person have?
What country does he have the clearance from?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I worked on a UK MoD programme that had an American prime - many of those guys had DoD clearance and didn't meet the 5 years domiciled in UK SC pre-requisite.
Don't know the detail but there is some leeway with similar clearances held. None of those guys had any issues and I suspect there were 40-50 of them.Comment
