Business Immigration - United Kingdom

UK Entrepreneur Visa (TIER-1) : The entrepreneur category is for those investing in the United Kingdom by setting up or taking over, and being actively involved in the running of, one or more businesses in the United Kingdom.

Eligibility : To apply under our points-based system and be accepted into the entrepreneur category, you must pass a points-based assessment.

You must score : 75 points for your attributes which are different depending on whether you make an initial or extension application; and

10 points for English language; and
10 points for available maintenance (funds).

If you do not score a minimum of 75 points for your attributes and 10 points for English language and 10 points for available maintenance (funds), your application will be refused.

Application Process. The process for applying if you are outside the United Kingdom is:
    Step 1: complete a self-assessment online using our points-based calculator to find out if you are likely to score enough points.

    Step 2: go to the visa services website, which you can find on the right of this page, to find out if you must submit any personal details in the country you are applying from electronically, and to find the application form.

    Step 3: take or send your form(s), fee and supporting evidence to the visa application centre. You must also arrange to give your biometrics, which are usually taken at the visa application centre.
We strongly advise you to bring all supporting documents with your application. We will not consider any evidence provided after we have made a decision.

If you are granted entry clearance as an entrepreneur from outside of the United Kingdom, you will be able to live and work in the United Kingdom for a maximum period of three years. When the end of this period approaches you will need to apply to extend your stay as an entrepreneur.
